Ohio Man Charged With Threatening to Kill VP Vance

A 33-year-old man from Toledo, Ohio, was charged with threatening to kill Vice President JD Vance during a January visit to northwest Ohio, the Department of Justice announced Friday.

Shannon Mathre has been charged with making a threat to take the life of, and to inflict bodily harm upon, a successor to the presidency, the DOJ said in a news release.

While investigating the alleged threats against Vance, federal agents discovered multiple digital files of child sexual abuse material in Mathre's possession.

Prosecutors also charged Mathre with receiving and distributing child sexual abuse material.

Mathre made his initial court appearance Friday before a U.S. magistrate judge in the Northern District of Ohio. He remains in custody pending a detention hearing scheduled for Feb. 11.
