Police in Florida have arrested a man who made threats of violence against the life of President Donald Trump on the Internet.

Shannon Depararro Atkins, 46, was arrested during a traffic stop on Friday in West Palm Beach, during which he allegedly was found to be carrying three baggies of cocaine in his pocket, the New York Post reported.

Police had him on their radar after receiving a tip about posts he made before the inauguration of the president on January 20.

“America needs one good bullet to be saved,” he allegedly wrote on Facebook on Jan. 19 hours before he admitted that he was banned on X.

“I’ve been banned from ‘X’, because I said I hope and pray someone kills him,” he said. “History is supposed to repeat itself. We haven’t had an assassination in years.”

Later that same day he said “Bullets please. Please Jesus! Save America” in a meme that said inauguration day was a “day of mourning.”

On the day he was arrested, Atkins shared an image of the president with his late wife, Ivanka, where he allegedly wrote, “I hope they get back together soon.”

He admitted to police that he made the posts but claimed they were just his way of “joking.”

“That gives you a flavor of some of the posts that this gentleman posted,” West Palm Beach Police Chief Tony Araujo told reporters following Atkins’ arrest.

“Folks, this is not a joke. Nothing of that sort is a joke,” the police chief said of the posts.

“In today’s climate, you really can’t say things like this. We have incident after incident, example after example, of when these threats become real. And we take these very seriously,” he said.

Syvrud was convicted of second-degree sexual assault of a minor on April 6, 2001, and was subsequently added to Wisconsin’s sex offender registry. He is listed as having a lifetime registration and a variety of aliases.

“Public Safety consideration: Syvrud is being sought as an investigative lead for threats to kill a presidential candidate,” Dannels wrote. According to the New York Post, the presidential candidate in question is Donald Trump.

“There’s a manhunt going on in this county… Somebody made death threats to you,” a reporter asked as Trump held a press conference in Cochise County near the border. “Did you hear about that before coming? What are your thoughts about coming down here? Some people told me it’s dangerous for you to be here.”

After telling the reporter he had not been informed about the threat beforehand, he said: “I’ve heard it’s dangerous, but I also have a job to do. I heard it’s very dangerous. I haven’t heard about that, they probably want to keep it from me, thank you for telling me.”

He then quipped: “Let’s get outta here right now!”
