San Antonio man arrested for allegedly threatening Trump before Kerrville visit

A San Antonio man has been arrested for allegedly threatening President Trump.

Robert Herrera, 52, was accused of making online threats to the president during his visit to Texas on Friday. In one post on Facebook authorities say Herrera posted a picture of an assault rifle, along with a threat to “come after” the president.

Another post allegedly made by Herrera on a news outlet website contained similar threats.

The charges could lead to a 5-year prison sentence.

The investigation was carried out by the local FBI office, the Secret Service, San Antonio Police Department and the Texas Department of Public Safety.
