Glen DeCicco of Jupiter, Florida, has been charged with "making written threats to kill," following a Facebook post that prompted an investigation involving local law enforcement and the US Secret Service, according to a statement from the Jupiter Police Department.

DeCicco was taken into custody without incident on Friday. The threat reportedly coincided with US President Donald Trump’s appearance at the LIV Golf event in Doral, Florida, on Thursday. Authorities have not released further details about the content of the post.

The case comes amid increased concern over threats to Trump, especially following four confirmed assassination attempts since he entered political life.

The most serious attempt occurred on July 13, 2024, during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Gunman Thomas Matthew Crooks, 20, opened fire while Trump was on stage, grazing his ear. Crooks was immediately shot and killed by Secret Service agents.

Other incidents include a 2016 plot in Las Vegas where British national Michael Steven Sandford, 20 at the time, attempted to grab a police officer’s firearm during a Trump rally.

He later pleaded guilty and received a one-year prison sentence. In 2017, Gregory Lee Leingang, 42, tried to crash a forklift into Trump’s presidential motorcade. Most recently, on September 13, 2024, Ryan Wesley Routh, 58, was arrested for allegedly firing a rifle near Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach. He now faces charges related to unlawful firearm possession.

The Jupiter Police Department confirmed that the investigation into DeCicco’s post involved collaboration with the Secret Service. Detectives and federal agents interviewed him before making the arrest.

Secret Service Director Sean Curran, speaking in February, said, "I'm confident in the men and women in the Secret Service, our partners on the Hill, the secretary, and the cooperation from everyone else. We've really come together, and I'm confident in the process."

Under Florida law, making written threats to kill is classified as a second-degree felony. If convicted, DeCicco could face a prison sentence of up to 15 years.
