Bonner County man arrested for allegedly threatening to kill former President Trump

SANDPOINT — A Bonner County man was arrested in Missoula back in August for allegedly threatening former President Donald Trump.

According to court documents, Warren Jones Crazybull called Mar-a-Lago on July 31 and threatened to kill former President Trump. He's facing a federal charge of threats against a former president. The charge is punishable with a fine and/or up to five years in prison. 

When the Secret Service investigated, they found a Facebook page that appeared to belong to Crazybull that had a publicly posted video of Crazybull making comments regarding violence toward the former president.

Court documents also say Crazybull allegedly posted several times on Facebook with “concerning violence and anger towards former President Trump and Mr. John F. Kennedy.” After being arrested, Crazybull allegedly admitted to writing the Facebook posts.

Secret Service special agents outlined the posts in court documents. One post said, "I start driving to the home of this multi-person rapist Pig Trump to take him down single combat." According to documents, Crazybull goes on to call the former president a "serial predator" and a "coward."

In another post, court documents say the suspect wrote, "I'm leaving Sandpoint at 12:00 am #Trump2024. I'm coming for you..."

Court documents say law enforcement was able to track Crazybull's whereabouts through cell phone pings, and he was arrested Aug. 1. 

During an interview with law enforcement, Crazybull allegedly said the former president had “violated treaties and thereby deprived him of his land.” During the same interview, Crazybull allegedly stated he wrote the posts to get law enforcement’s attention, and he repeatedly said he would not let Trump become president again, according to documents. 

Law enforcement noted in court documents that Crazybull appeared "as if his thought processes were racing and confused" and "paranoid."

Crazybull is currently on a U.S. Marshall hold at the Kootenai County Jail. He is due in court for a pretrial conference Oct. 15, and his trial is scheduled to begin Oct. 28 at 1:30 p.m.
