A mentally ill Arizona man with previous felony charges has been arrested after threatening to kill President-elect Donald Trump.

According to court documents, Manuel Tamayo-Torres has been accused of threatening to kill Trump, as shown in a number of concerning videos posted online.

His mugshot and age has not yet been released to the press by the authorities. Additionally, some sources say that he was arrested in Southern California, while other sources allege that he was arrested in Arizona, where he resides.

Police stated that Tamayo-Torres posted videos on a “near-daily basis” accusing Trump and members of the president-elect’s family of kidnapping and sex-trafficking his children. It is unclear if the arrested man even has children.

A recently posted video was shared on November 21st, where he declared that Trump’s “whole family is going to die,” according to the charging documents.

Reports stated that the court documents did not directly identify Trump, only referring to him as “Individual 1.” However, court documents identify “Individual 1” as a public figure, “former” president, and the current president-elect.

Court documents note that last Thursday, Tamayo-Torres said in a video posted on Facebook, “[Individual 1] you’re gonna die, [Individual 1], your son’s gonna die. Your whole family is going to die, [Individual 1]. This is reality now for you. This is the only reality you have in your future, [Individual 1], dying.”

Tamayo-Torres also threatened to shoot Trump in another video and held up “what appears to be a white AR 15-style rifle with a 30-round magazine inserted into it.”

“You’re Caucasian nothing,” he continued in the video. “You’ll earn nothing. Aryan money, that’s all you have. You’re a low-life scum. I’ll spit in your f—–g face motherf—er, and if they give me a chance, I’m going to f—–g bury you myself.”

Previously, on August 23rd, Tamayo-Torres posted yet another video, but this time, from the Desert Diamond Arena in Glendale, Arizona. The same location where Trump was holding an afternoon rally. During the rally, Trump announced that he will form an independent commission to investigate assassination attempts.

He was charged with one count of making threats against the incoming president-elect and four counts of making false statements during the purchase of a firearm.

Back in 2003, Tamayo-Torres was found guilty of felony assault and given a five-year sentence in a California state prison. According to the court documents, his ex-wife served him with an order of protection last year.

Floridians have been issued urgent warnings to begin the largest evacuation in almost a decade as Hurricane Milton rapidly grew to a “life threatening” Category 4 storm containing 150 mph winds Monday, placing hundreds of thousands of residents still recovering from Helene at risk. 

Meanwhile, Milton is projected to hit Wednesday as a major hurricane in the Tampa Bay area, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. 

Additionally, storm surge and hurricane watches were issued for Florida’s Gulf Coast as Milton “rapidly intensified” into a Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of 150 mph, according to the hurricane center.

Kevin Guthrie, the director of Florida’s emergency management division, urged residents to be prepared for the “largest evacuation that we have seen most likely since 2017 Hurricane Irma.” “I highly encourage you to evacuate,” Guthrie said during a press conference.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) said it was clear the state was going to be hit hard. 

“You have time to prepare … be sure your hurricane preparedness plan is in place,” DeSantis said Sunday.

“If you’re on that west coast of Florida, barrier islands, just assume you’ll be asked to leave.”

Furthermore, the hurricane center had warned that the hurricane posed “an increasing risk of life-threatening storm surge from Milton for portions of the west coast of the Florida Peninsula beginning Tuesday night or early Wednesday,”

“Residents should follow any advice given by local officials and evacuate if told to do so,” the federal agency warned.

“I’m just gonna distill it down and put it in some plain speak — everybody’s just got to get out,” warned Sheriff Bob Gualtieri of Pinellas County, which includes Clearwater and St. Petersburg.

“This is going to be bad. That’s all you need to know,” he said of warnings the storm surge could top 8 feet along his county’s coastal regions.

“There’s going to reach a point where you are on your own, because we are not going to get our people killed because you don’t want to listen to what we’re saying.”
