A 38-year-old New Jersey man has been arrested for allegedly threatening to murder a Florida county sheriff in an anonymous online death threat over the officer's recent stand against a neo-Nazi hate group, officials say.
Richard Golden, of Monmouth Junction, was taken into custody at his mother's house without incident by South Brunswick police Monday, according to Volusia Sheriff Mike Chitwood. He is expected to be extradited to that county, nearly 1,000 miles away from his bedroom, to face a charge of making a written threat to kill or cause injury.
Chitwood again denounced hateful and violent rhetoric circulating in online fringe groups during that briefing. It was his response to recent hate activity in Volusia County that promoted the anonymous threat in the first place. According to the investigation, the threat was posted in a 4chan chat on Feb. 22. Users had been discussing Chitwood's response in the community and one user, later identified as Golden, suggested someone,"Just shoot Chitwood in the head and he stops being a problem. They have to find a new guy to be the problem."
"But shooting Chitwood in the head solves an immediate problem permanently. Just shoot Chitwood in the head and murder him," the post continued.
