FLOYD COUNTY, Ind. (WISH) — The southern Indiana man accused of threatening Donald Trump in a YouTube video is due in court Friday morning.
Twenty-six-year-old Richard Deville Junior is in the Floyd County jail awaiting that court appearance.
Prosecutors are charging him with two felonies for making the threatening YouTube video. In the video, Deville Jr. points guns at the camera and tells Donald Trump he’s going to kill him, his daughter and his wife.
“I’m serious. You are dead,” said Deville Jr. in the video.
The Secret Service contacted Floyd County authorities after someone in Atlanta reported the posting.
Jackie Cox, the mother of Deville’s child, and his father, Richard Deville Senior said Deville draws disability for a mental handicap. They said he would never hurt Trump or anyone else, but he is easily influenced by peer pressure.
“He does this stuff to impress his friends. That’s why he does it. You know, he’s slow. He’s slow in the head and his friends take advantage of it,” said Cox.
Cox and Deville Sr. told reporters they don’t think Deville Jr. was sober when he made the video.
“It upset me and I cried. That’s not my son. I know how my son,” said Deville Sr.
Cox said she was on the phone with Deville Jr. before he made the video.
“I kept telling him don’t do it. Don’t do it and you can hear his friends in the background saying just do it. You’re the one that looks tough,” said Cox.
Court documents show Deville Jr. told police he made the video to look cool. Investigators said they believe Deville acted alone.
That evil group, the NRA, probably got him hooked on guns.
Abe Lincoln the gift that keeps on giving
Thanks for posting. BTTT!
FIFY
Why would Jackie Cox have a child with someone who is “slow in the head” ? Or is that just an excuse to get him out of trouble?
I’ll never understand all this I guess.
Like they wouldn’t have sent them all back to Africa a hundred years ago.
Beginning with the throwing out of the case against the New Black Panthers and lack of charging hate crimes against those thugs engaging in the knockout game against whites, Obama built that.
There are good reasons why certain people should not be allowed to vote in this country.
“They” created a phony-baloney constitution that preserved the Peculiar Institution in perpetuity. “They” wouldn’t be able to send them anywhere.
No, no, his real name is Dindu Nuffin.
Just turning his life around, you know, honky!
Haven’t heard ANY discussion about the guy who actually got within a few feet of Trump in that airport hanger a few months ago (or was it weeks?) And he had quite a violent online expression as well.
On parole after serving three years for burglary. Also arrested for attacking the mother of his child.
Just a real nice boy...
Me too
I coulda sworn this was either a white dude or a ‘white hispanic”
Barry’s rhetoric just emboldens these thugs.
“Deville” huh? Why did I know what color he was even before I started to read the article?
It’s a fad, like pet rocks, or Tarantino films.
When you say Goldfish, are you referring to the animal or the cracker?
Wait, don’t answer that!
yep
