Charleston, West Virginia, native Michael Ray Sigmon made explicit threats to kill President Donald Trump if he runs for a third term in 2028, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court.
According to court filings, the West Virginia State Police (WVSP) received a complaint on October 12, 2025. Authorities say Sigmon, 66, and a candidate running for the West Virginia House of Delegates in District 52, submitted a volunteer form for the Mountain Party containing language threatening the murder of local law enforcement officers and, more specifically, to “execute President Donald Trump via beheading.”
