A former Coast Guard lieutenant was recently arrested for allegedly making threats to kill President Donald Trump, according to court documents obtained by Fox News.
The suspect, Virginia resident Peter Stinson, served as an officer in the United States Coast Guard from 1988 to 2021. He was a sharpshooter as well as a FEMA instructor during that time.
In an affidavit filed on Friday, a task force officer from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) revealed details about the myriad of online threats that Stinson allegedly made.
In one instance, Stinson reportedly wrote that Trump needed to be “[L]uigied,” on May 9. The post was a reference to Luigi Mangione, who is accused of killing United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson last year.

Stinson is accused of threatening violence against Trump, including those using firearms, poison, and knives, on multiple social media platforms.
Stinson allegedly said he wasn’t equipped to execute Trump, then added a creepy suggestion that he was lying.
The document further alleges that Stinson made several references to the number 8647, which government officials believe is likely in reference to an Instagram post made by former FBI Director James Comey.
Comey’s post was interpreted as a violent threat, meaning to 86, or get rid of, 47, the 47th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump.
The post prompted an investigation by the Department of Homeland Security and the United States Secret Service.
The affidavit also alleges that Stinson has self-identified as a member of ANTIFA.
