A Cape Coral man faces up to five years in federal prison, suspected of threatening to kill the president.
On March 10, Christopher Davies wrote and delivered a letter to an official from the Charlotte Correctional Institute, in which he made a threat to kill and/or inflict body harm on President Donald Trump, according to an indictment.
Davies, 31, has been charged with one count of making threats against the president and successors to the president.
In 2012, Davies was convicted and sentenced to 18 months in prison for a similar charge. He wrote and delivered a letter to an official from the Lee County Jail threatening to kill former President Barack Obama.
He was arraigned by the federal court of the Middle District of Florida on Thursday, May 29.
He is scheduled to appear for a jury trial on July 1.
