A Florida security guard has been charged for threatening to kill President Donald Trump in retaliation for the U.S. airstrike that killed Iran’s top military general last Friday.

According to court documents filed on Wednesday by the Secret Service, Chauncy Lump, 26, from the Fort Lauderdale area, faces federal charges of threatening to kill the president and remained jailed with bond set at $100,000.

Agent Lucas White in the filed report explained that in the video reported by Facebook to the authorities;

Lump had white cream on his face, a towel wrapped like a turban on his head, an apparent shower curtain over his body and Middle Eastern music playing in the background.

Federal investigators say Lump, under the name “BlackMan vs. America,” began live streaming a seven-minute video on Facebook shortly after Trump announced last week that a U.S. airstrike had killed Qassem Soleimani in Iraq in retaliation for plotting numerous terrorist attacks.

From the report filed, some of the threatening statements made by Lump against the president include:

He killed my leader, please tell me where is Donald Trump?. I need to find the Donald because if I don’t find him I am going to have to blow up Broward County. Do not play with me, I have AK-47. He killed my leader and I have to kill him.

The affidavit does not say where Lump works as a security guard, but it says he has a concealed weapons permit.

White in his report wrote that when confronted early Saturday at his home, Lump said the video was a joke.

However, it is unknown if Lump has an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
