Minnesota man arrested for threatening Pam Bondi in alleged "murder-for-hire" TikTok post
Washington— This month, a guy from Minnesota was arrested and charged with threatening Attorney General Pam Bondi in a TikTok post that seemed to put a $45,000 bounty on the head of the country’s top law enforcement officer.
A TikTok user in Detroit told the FBI about the post that went after Bondi on October 9. It had a picture of Bondi with a “sniper-scope red dot” on her forehead and the words “WANTED: Pam Bondi.” 45,000 dollars as a reward. According to an FBI document filed in federal court in Minnesota, they want them dead or alive (preferably dead).
Court documents say that the post has a caption that says, “cough cough when they don’t serve us, what then?”
The affidavit added that the FBI tracked the account to Tyler Maxon Avalos, a 30-year-old man who lives in St. Paul, Minnesota. The bureau says that the account has links to anarchism, such as a display name with an anarchy symbol and a pinned link to a “Anarchist FAQ” book.
According to court documents, Avalos has a criminal record that includes a felony stalking conviction in Minnesota in 2022, a misdemeanor domestic assault conviction in 2016, and a felony third-degree domestic abuse conviction in Florida in 2016.
Earlier this month, Avalos had his first court appearance in Minneapolis in front of a federal magistrate judge. He was released on a personal recognizance bond last week.
Seamus Hughes from the National Counterterrorism Innovation, Technology, and Education Center at the University of Nebraska at Omaha was the first to report on the case.
