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.

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.
