A California man was arrested on a federal criminal complaint alleging he made online death threats against Vice President JD Vance during his visit to Disneyland Resort in Anaheim in July.

Marco Antonio Aguayo, 22, of Anaheim, was taken into custody Friday after he allegedly made multiple threatening comments on Disney’s official Instagram account referencing pipe bombs, imminent bloodshed and violent action against “corrupt politicians” July 12, the same day Vance and his family were visiting and staying at the resort.

Aguayo was charged with threatening the president and successors to the presidency, according to a criminal complaint filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

He is expected to make his initial appearance Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Santa Ana.

“This case is a horrific reminder of the dangers public officials face from deranged criminals who would do them harm,” Attorney General Pamela Bondi said in a Department of Justice news release announcing Aguayo’s arrest. “I am grateful that my friend Vice President Vance and his family are safe, applaud the police work that led to the arrest and will ensure my prosecutors deliver swift justice.”

Just before 6:15 p.m. July 12, an Instagram account posted a public comment on the Disney page saying, “Pipe bombs have been placed in preparation for J.D. Vance’s arrival,” according to an affidavit by a U.S. Secret Service Special Agent.

A subsequent comment said, “It’s time for us to rise up and you will be a witness to it,” and a third comment added, “Good luck finding all of them on time there will be bloodshed tonight and we will bathe in the blood of corrupt politicians,” according to the affidavit.

Investigators traced the Instagram account allegedly used to post the threats to Aguayo’s email address, phone numbers, IP addresses and home in Anaheim, using records from Meta, Google and other sources.

While questioning Aguayo at his home, investigators said he initially claimed his account had been hacked, but he later admitted to making the posts as a “joke,” with the intention of deleting them, officials say.

Aguayo consented to searches of his phone, bedroom and laptop, where investigators confirmed he was logged into the account that made the posts, according to the affidavit.

“We will not tolerate criminal threats against public officials,” First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said in the release. “We are grateful the vice president and his family remained safe during their visit. Let this case be a warning to anyone who thinks they can make anonymous online threats. We will find you and bring you to justice.”

A coyote recently stunned observers by swimming to Alcatraz, braving the treacherous waters surrounding the notorious former prison island off the coast of San Francisco in plain view of a tourist recording video.

The coyote in question is thought to be the first ever to reach Alcatraz, now a tourist attraction, in that manner. While it’s uncertain why the animal doggy-paddled there, the consensus is that the creature probably came from San Francisco – about 1.25 miles away – or other islands near Alcatraz where coyotes have been spotted.

Aidan Moore of Alcatraz City Cruises published clips of the coyote video on his Facebook account on 11 January. “A coyote swim to Alcatraz from the main island!” wrote Moore, who later told the news outlet SFGate that he got the videos from a tourist who approached him while at work. “The most exciting thing to happen here in ages! That’s a mile and a quarter swim!”

The clips depict the coyote swimming all by its lonesome in the San Francisco Bay, bobbing its head as it determinedly headed toward Alcatraz. The coyote eventually emerged on to the island’s rocky shore, cutting a bedraggled figure as water dripped from the animal’s body, which seemingly shivered with the Golden Gate Bridge looming in the background, according to one of the videos.

Moore said to SFGate that he called in the sighting to rangers at Alcatraz, which is under the jurisdiction of the US national park service. But it had disappeared by the time the rangers went looking for the coyote, and the canine’s fate was unclear.

SFGate reported that a spokesperson for the Golden Gate national recreation area – which oversees Alcatraz – confirmed the authenticity of the coyote sighting. The spokesperson, however, could not elaborate on what motivated the coyote to go there.

Citing what it described as a self-taught naturalist who has been documenting local coyote behavior for two decades, San Francisco’s CBS affiliate reported on Tuesday that the animal may have been seeking out new territory amid interspecies population pressure.

“This one was probably pushed around by other territorial owners and decided that he could make this trip,” Janet Kessler told the outlet, adding that coyotes have been in and around San Francisco for generations. “So, he attempted it, and he made it.”

Both Kessler and Moore remarked on the coyote’s evidently worn state. “He didn’t look like he was in very good condition, which I’m not surprised by given the harrowing experience,” Moore told SFGate.

Kessler, meanwhile, said to CBS: “He can barely make it. He’s depleted. He is shivering. He is cold.”

It wasn’t immediately clear what happened to the coyote after it was recorded getting to Alcatraz. Nonetheless, Kessler noted to CBS that the coyote had resources on the island with which to survive, including banana slugs, mice, rats, birds and puddles of rainwater.

“They are survivalists,” Kessler said to the outlet of coyotes in general. “That’s why they continue to expand.”

The federal government shut down its maximum-security prison on Alcatraz in 1963 after nearly 30 years in operation.

Some of its most infamous prisoners included the mob boss Al Capone, bootlegger George “Machine Gun” Kelly and Boston gangster James “Whitey” Bulger. The frigid, rough waters surrounding Alcatraz lent to it a reputation of being virtually inescapable.

The prison was later reopened as a public museum that attracts more than 1 million visitors annually.
