After several hours of searching, authorities in Arizona, a state in the southern United States, arrested Ronald Seawood, a 66-year-old man accused of making death threats against Donald Trump in several messages posted on social media, on Thursday, August 22.
According to law enforcement, another threatening post against Trump was published on Wednesday. The sheriff's office said that “identifying this individual was a priority” given Trump's visit to the area.

“I haven't heard about it. They probably want to keep it from me,” Trump said when asked to respond to the wanted list. “Thank you for telling me. Let's get out of here, right now,” Trump joked.
Threats to Trump
The threat to former President Trump's life arose after an attempt to assassinate the Republican presidential candidate during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, last month.
The former president held his first public rally Wednesday since the assassination attempt, speaking behind a wall of bulletproof glass at a podium in Asheboro, North Carolina.
