Authorities in Cochise County, Arizona, are actively seeking a 66-year-old man named Ronald Syvrud for making threats against former President Donald Trump. According to Cochise County public information officer Carol Capas, Syvrud posted multiple threats to kill Trump on social media in recent weeks. The specific platform where the threats were made has not been disclosed.
In addition to the threats against Trump, Syvrud is wanted on several outstanding warrants related to DUI charges, felony hit-and-run, and failing to register as a sex offender. The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office issued a release on Thursday, stating that Syvrud is a resident of Benson, Arizona, a city located approximately 50 miles southeast of Tucson.
It remains unclear whether Syvrud is still within Cochise County, prompting the sheriff’s office to seek the public’s assistance in locating him. The release advises individuals with information on Syvrud's whereabouts to contact their local law enforcement agency or dial 9-1-1.
Meanwhile, former President Trump is currently in Cochise County to deliver remarks at the US-Mexico border. The situation involving Syvrud adds a layer of concern and urgency to the ongoing law enforcement efforts in the area.
