Kendal Aaron Todd, 42, was busted and charged on Monday in St. Lucie County after he allegedly posted sickening threats to kill the commander-in-chief on social media.

Todd is being held on $500,000 bond. WPBFThe violent threats were quickly flagged to the US Secret Service, St. Lucie County Sheriff Richard Del Torro said.
“He just kept escalating his behavior,” Del Toro said. “He got the attention obviously of the United States Secret Service — and that got our attention.”
Del Torro said authorities had recently been keeping tabs on Todd over concerns for his mental health.
Neighbors told WPBF they’d recently seen deputies at the home of the suspect, who’d been acting strangely for some time.

“It’s just very concerning for us,” he added. “Some of the things that have happened in the past to our president. We want to make sure we’re not leaving anything to chance.”
