COLUMBIA, Ky. (KDKA/AP) - Kentucky State Police say it appears that a man wanted for allegedly threatening President Donald Trump, Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer and others stole a vehicle belonging to Meyer's brother.
Police said in a statement that Meyer's brother, Timothy Gilliam, arrived home Thursday evening and found that someone had kicked in the front door of his home in Adair County and stolen a Jeep Grand Cherokee and food from a refrigerator. Police say Gilliam showed investigators surveillance videos and it appears the suspect is 26-year-old Shawn Christy of McAdoo, Pennsylvania.
The vehicle was described as being a green mail delivery truck with Kentucky license plate 095WYT. It was last seen around 2 p.m. Thursday heading east on Interstate 64 in Huntington, West Virginia.
The FBI's Pittsburgh office is offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Christy. He faces federal charges for allegedly posting threats last month on Facebook.
Christy posted that he was going to shoot President Trump and use "lethal force" on law enforcement officers attempting arrest him on an outstanding bench warrant.
The FBI says Christy is believed to have numerous stolen handguns.
He was previously spotted at the Sheetz in Wexford on July 30.
Anyone with information about his whereabouts is asked to contact the FBI at (215)-418-4000.
