PIERS Morgan last night insisted “We must draw a line on trolls” as it emerged a suspect has been arrested for making death threats against him.
Officers from two of the country’s biggest police forces have been probing chilling messages sent to the TV star and his eldest son Spencer.
Last night Piers, 56, said: “People think it’s perfectly OK to make death threats to public figures on social media but it’s not — there has to be a line drawn, especially when family members are targeted.
“That’s why I reported it and I am grateful to the Met Police and Greater Manchester Police for taking it so seriously.”
The threats forced Piers — who is returning to The Sun and joining talkTV — to install a panic button by his bed on police advice.
Sinister messages said he was a “marked man” and that no security measures could save him.
The troll added a “promise” that Piers was “getting killed”.
Spencer, 28, was in turn told he would “get it” if his dad didn’t.
The male suspect is believed to have been arrested under the Malicious Communications Act.

I have a panic button by the bed.
Mine’s made by Smith & Wesson.
Never threaten anyone. If you’re going to do something do it otherwise you’re just making a fool of yourself.
Mine is glock... Pre panic is half Doberman half German shepherd...cute little mutt.
