The 13-year-old son of a controversial whistleblower who accused Gov. Ron DeSantis' administration of suppressing state data on the severity of the COVID pandemic in Florida was arrested this week on charges that he made “terrorist” threats online.
The 13-year-old son of a controversial Florida whistle-blower was arrested this week on charges that he made “terrorist” threats on the internet to shoot up his former school.
The teens showed deputies screenshots of memes shared by Jones’ son on Snapchat, where they said the boy had also threatened to shoot up his former middle school the week before spring break, but then said he later changed his mind, according to the arrest warrant. Authorities say he also posted another meme described in the warrant as “an individual with a shaved head holding a Hi-C drink. The message on the meme was “I’m feeling so silly I might shoot up a building full of people.”
An unredacted version of the warrant, obtained by the Herald, shows the threatening messages were sent by a username that was different than the one Jones’ son used to send the memes. Until his release after a court appearance Thursday, the boy was being held at the Escambia Regional Juvenile Detention Center, a 50-bed state-run lockup in Pensacola. Jones and her son live in Santa Rosa County, just east of Pensacola in the Florida Panhandle.
