CAMERON, Mo. (AP) – Authorities say a man who is accused of threatening to
shoot President Donald Trump and a Missouri sheriff had 30 firearms in his home
when he was arrested.
Forty-two-year-old Christopher Kelley was charged Wednesday with possessing a
firearm despite a domestic violence order of protection.
Federal charging documents say Kelley talked about killing the Clinton County
sheriff and the president in October while at the county courthouse. He
subsequently was banned from possessing weapons and denied having any when
officers went to his home Monday. But after telling a witness he “might hurt
somebody,” police obtained a search warrant. They found multiple shotguns,
handguns and several M1 .30-caliber rifles.
Charging documents describe Kelley as a veteran with PTSD. Kelley’s attorney
didn’t immediately return a phone message from The Associated Press.
