   A federal grand jury has charged a Toledo man with threatening to kill   
   Vice President JD Vance during his Jan. 22 visit to the city.   
      
   Shannon Mathre, 33, was arrested by the Secret Service and was booked in   
   the Lucas County jail Friday following an alleged threat to take the   
   life of a successor to the presidency, officials said.   
      
   According to the indictment, Mr. Mathre allegedly said, “I am going to   
   find out where he is going to be and use my M14 automatic gun and kill   
   him.”   
      
   Mr. Vance visited East Toledo last month to tout the Trump   
   Administration’s economic and employment policies. Later that day, he   
   stopped in Minneapolis encouraging cooperation with immigration agents   
   there.   
      
   “Hostile and violent threats made against the Vice President, or any   
   other public official, will not be tolerated in our District,” David M.   
   Toepfer, the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, said in a   
   news release. “Anyone threatening this kind of action will face swift   
   justice and prosecution. We commend the actions of our local and state   
   law enforcement who collaborated with U.S. Secret Service to take this   
   individual into custody.”   
      
   While investigating threats against Mr. Vance, federal agents discovered   
   multiple digital files of child sexual abuse materials in Mr. Mathre’s   
   possession.   
      
   The grand jury has further charged the Toledoan with the receipt and   
   distribution of images depicting minors engaged in sexually explicit   
   conduct between Dec. 31 and Jan. 21.   
      
   If found guilty, Mr. Mathre could face up to five years in prison and up   
   to $250,000 for threatening the life of the vice president. He could   
   also face up to 20 years in prison and up to $250,000 for the CSAM   
   charge.
