FBI: Mercer man made online threats against law enforcement after Trump search – By Paula Reed Ward (Trib live) / Aug 15, 2022
A Mercer man is accused of threatening violence against federal agents and other law enforcement on the social media platform Gab following the search last week of former President Trump’s home in Florida.
Adam Bies, 46, is charged with influencing, impeding or retaliating against federal law enforcement officers.
Bies had an initial appearance before U.S. Magistrate Judge Lisa Pupo Lenihan on Monday afternoon and will remain in custody pending a detention hearing on Thursday.
The government is asking that Bies remain incarcerated pending trial, alleging he is both a danger to the community and a flight risk.
