Tyler Avalos, 29, was arrested Oct. 16 after allegedly posting the threat on TikTok, FBI says.
A Minnesota man was arrested after allegedly offering $45,000 for the killing of Attorney General Pam Bondi, according to court documents.
Tyler Avalos, 29, published the threat on TikTok saying he wanted Bondi "dead or alive" but "preferably dead," according to an affidavit by FBI Special Agent Caleb Jurchisin.
The investigation into Avalos started Oct. 9 when a tipster from Detroit "submitted a report to the FBI National Threat Operations Center" and flagged the suspect's TikTok feed, the FBI said.
The TikTok post included a picture of Bondi "with a sniper-scope red dot on" her forehead, according to the affidavit.
"Additionally, the suspect user posted a comment below the description that reads 'cough cough'/'when you don't serve us then what?'" Jurchisin added.
TikTok, Google and Comcast helped the FBI trace the suspect, the affidavit says, learning he signed up for the platform on a Samsung Galaxy phone.
Avalos was charged with allegedly creating "an online post containing a threat to injure," according to a criminal complaint.
He appeared in court Oct. 22 and waived his right to a preliminary hearing. A judge released Avalos on a personal recognizance but ordered him to wear a GPS monitor.
Lawyers for Avalos, who lives in St. Paul, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Bondi’s office declined comment on the matter.
The suspect has a rap sheet that includes convictions for a July 2022 stalking case in Dakota County and a domestic battery charge in Polk County, Florida, in August 2016, the affidavit said.
He also has a 2019 misdemeanor battery case out of Dakota County "which appears to have been reduced from a felony domestic assault by strangulation..."

Now imagine if he offered that kind of bounty for any prominent demonrat. We’d never hear the end of it.
“Court records indicate that Avalos has been on the losing end of two separate paternity lawsuits involving two different women and a total of three children. Filings in those cases cast doubt on his ability to finance the $45,000 bounty he offered in the Bondi case.”

For whatever reason, the guy who threatened Atty. Gen. Pamela is never shown as a Face Pic. At least I have not seen his pic yet. All articles that report on this threat only show HER picture, which, of course, is not necessary.
They never seem to show HIS picture!
Maybe that has changed since last weekend.
45k to ruin your life...
I'm sorry, what?
No bail, unlike the j6ers
Glad that a Michigan guy turned in his posts and got the investigation going.
Dismaying to know so many in my state wouldn’t have turned him in. They have marches to denounce Israel, paint graffiti near here against Trump and ICE, and the biggest mosque in North America is an easy drive away.
Where is all the scolding about how this is evidence of toxic, lethal misogyny by Leftwing men who are threatened by strong, prominent, conservative women?
I’m surprised he would make such a mistake. Looks like a really bright guy to me
Talk about poor wording. 😀
Not only that, would anybody ever believe that he has $45k to give away??
He looks like he smells of excessive and wincing B.O.
Slap on the wrist? Antifa street cred? Political Leftist applause?
packrat35 has the notation correctly: J6ers would be incarcerated on a NY second..
