Man Arrested for Multiple Interstate Death Threats Against Officer Darren Wilson

The U.S. Attorney's office has announced a Washington state man was arrested on three counts of making interstate death threats against former Officer Darren Wilson. Jaleel Tariq Abdul-Jabbaar was arrested at his home this morning by authorities. The complaint alleges multiple threats to kill Wilson along with his family and other law enforcement officers.

The New York Times published Wilson's address last week, making it easier for lunatics like this to hunt him down and kill him.

According to the criminal complaint, ABDUL-JABBAAR started posting threats on his Facebook page shortly after the August 9, 2014 shooting of Michael Brown, through late November. ABDUL-JABBAAR posted various statements about killing police officers and traveling to Ferguson, Missouri. Among others, ABDUL-JABBAAR stated: “We need to kill (the officer) and anything that has a badge on.” ABDUL-JABBAAR also used Facebook communications to attempt to acquire a firearm.

Making interstate threats is punishable by up to five years in jail.
