Mar-a-Lago caller charged with threatening former President Donald Trump

An Idaho man named Warren Jones Crazybull has been charged with threatening to kill former President Donald Trump in a series of phone calls made to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, according to court documents.

Crazybull’s calls to security at Trump’s Palm Beach property came on July 31, just weeks after the Republican presidential nominee was shot in the ear during a rally in Pennsylvania. According to a criminal complaint obtained by Forbes, 64-year-old Crazybull made a total of nine menacing phone calls that day, warning of the deadly violence he planned to carry out.

“Find Trump ... I am coming down to Bedminster tomorrow,” he said during in the first call, seemingly referencing the location of Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey. “I am going to down him personally and kill him.”

The security team at Mar-a-Lago immediately alerted the Secret Service, telling them they received another eight phone calls from the same number, according to court documents.

A Facebook page that is believed to belong to Crazybull was also filled with threats against the 45th president in addition to ramblings about Jeffrey Epstein, “John John Kennedy Jr” and a “shadow government.”

“I start driving to the home of this multi person rapist PIG TRUMP to take him down in single combat,” one post said, per NBC News.

 

Secret Service investigators were able to track down Crazybull using cell phone location data from T-Mobile, and he was taken into custody on August 1. During his subsequent interview with law enforcement, the suspect allegedly said he would “not attempt to kill former President Trump,” but also claimed he would not let Trump become president again either. He further explained that he blamed Trump and former President Kennedy for “broken treaties that resulted in the loss of his land.”

Crazybull also told them that he had previously been admitted for psychiatric care.

On August 20, he was indicted in federal court, where he pleaded not guilty to charges of making threats against a former president. If convicted, he faces up to five years in prison.

His arrest also came just weeks before Ryan Wesley Routh was caught fleeing from a sniper’s perch near Trump’s golf club in West Palm Beach. He reportedly left a letter with a friend saying his actions were “an assassination attempt.”
