A man in St. Paul, Minnesota, is accused of posting a TikTok video offering to pay a bounty for the murder of U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi.
The suspect, identified as Tyler Maxon Avalos, allegedly posted an image of Bondi with a caption that read “WANTED: Pam Bondi — REWARD: $45,000 — DEAD OR ALIVE (Preferably Dead),” Fox News reported Monday.
An image of the alleged post appears to have a sniper scope dot on the photo of Bondi:

The Fox article said the suspect is also accused of writing, “Cough cough. When they don’t serve us, then what?” on the post.
A federal investigation was launched once another TikTok user flagged the post. Officials arrested the suspect at an apartment building on Thursday, and he now faces federal charges in the case.
The Fox report said Avalos has a long criminal history that includes convictions for stalking and domestic violence.
