A South Florida man was arrested Friday for allegedly making written threats to kill President Donald Trump, according to the Jupiter Police Department.
On a Facebook post, the law enforcement agency said Glen DeCicco is facing charges following an investigation into statements made on social media targeting the president.
The investigation began when the department was alerted to a concerning Facebook post, police said in a statement.
Detectives said they reviewed DeCicco's online activity and confirmed that he made a written threat against the president, who was in Doral on Thursday attending a LIV Golf event.
The Jupiter Police Department said it worked in coordination with the United States Secret Service throughout the investigation.
Detectives and special agents interviewed DeCicco and he was taken into custody without incident, police said.
No further details about the content of the threat have been released.
