Judge Dismisses Charges Against Michigan Man Accused of Threatening Biden, Harris

The case was dropped due to lack of 'true threat' as determined by U.S. Magistrate Judge Patricia Morris, following a preliminary hearing.

  • Russell Warren, 49, was accused of threatening to kill President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris through messages on social media platform X.
  • U.S. Magistrate Judge Patricia Morris ruled that Warren's messages did not constitute a 'true threat' as they called for law enforcement and the courts to take action.
  • Warren was arrested on January 29 after being identified by his IP address but was released after the case was dismissed.
  • The dismissed charges could have led to a prison sentence of up to five years if Warren had been convicted.
  • Warren's threats also targeted other political figures, celebrities, and significant locations, including Disney theme parks and Mount Rushmore.
