A former Coast Guard lieutenant who received awards for skills in sharpshooting was arrested Monday for allegedly leveling a series of violent death threats towards President Donald Trump, according to newly unsealed court records.
Peter Stinson, a resident of Oakton, Virginia, served as an officer in the U.S. Coast Guard until 2021 and also worked as an instructor for FEMA's Incident Command Systems, according to his criminal complaint.
Prosecutors say he was also a self-identified member of the Antifa movement and used his X and Bluesky accounts to transmit multiple threatening posts targeting Trump from 2020 through this year.
