     St. Petersburg Man Charged With Making Threats Of A Mass Shooting   
      
   United States Attorney Roger B. Handberg announces the unsealing of a criminal   
   complaint charging Robert Trout III (19, St. Petersburg) with knowingly   
   transmitting in interstate commerce a true threat. If convicted, Trout faces a   
   maximum penalty of five years in federal prison.   
      
   According to the complaint, Trout posted a video on Instagram making threats to   
   go to New York City and "cause havoc on the subway" by shooting "anybody" that   
   Trout sees. Trout further threatened that this shooting would occur on the   
   evening of Thanksgiving, November 23, 2023, and stated "if you're from New York   
   City, do not take the train on Thursday evening." While making these threats,   
   Trout displayed multiple firearms, including two semi-automatic firearms with   
   extended clips containing a total of 60 bullets while stating "that's sixty   
   shots - that's sixty people dead." Several recent postings on Trout's Instagram   
   account in conjunction with witness statements allowed law enforcement to   
   identify Trout as the person responsible for making the threats.
