PORTLAND, Ore.— A 41-year-old man, who threatened an elected official with a post on X, warning him to keep his windows and doors locked “because I love a challenge when hunting my PREY,” appeared in the U.S. District Court in Portland last Friday.
He Has Pleaded Not Guilty
Travis William Juhr pleaded not guilty to a charge of transmitting online interstate threats to an elected official and a minor victim, after a federal grand jury returned an indictment on Tuesday, last week.
Both Victims Were Allegedly Threatened on Social Media
According to court documents. Juhr threatened the elected official from Nevada, as well as a minor victim who had attended a counter-protest in support of federal agents from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The minor received several threatening messages from Juhr on an X account.
Juhr faces a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison, three years of supervised release, and a fine of $250,000.
The case is currently under investigation by the FBI, and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Ethan G. Bodell is prosecuting.
