Man faces felony charges for threats against Washington governor

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Prosecutors allege a Washington state man repeatedly posted “veiled death threats” to Gov. Bob Ferguson on social media, including pictures of the front door of the governor’s home.

Casey Cutter Patterson, 34, is also accused of posting a picture of an AR-15 in August and referring to Ferguson’s security detail. A search warrant revealed he’d requested public records about the “personal security detail” of Ferguson’s predecessor, former Gov. Jay Inslee.

Patterson is charged with making “threats against governor or family” as well as intimidating a public servant. Both are felony charges. He remained in county jail Thursday.

At his arraignment Tuesday, he pleaded not guilty.

Court said they were allowed under the first amendment since the accused never tried to carry them out.
