A six-month investigation into an 18-year-old in Ohio has resulted in his arrest on charges of threatening to assault a federal law enforcement officer. The investigation started in February, according to WJW, when agents found online comments from the teen supporting mass shootings. According to court documents, the user posted a threat to assault federal law enforcement officers writing, “…shoot every agent on sight,” in a discussion about the Branch Davidian standoff in Waco in 1993. Agents met with Justin Olsen, who gave written consent for a search of his car and bedroom, according to a probable cause warrant. On August 7th, agents report they found 10,000 rounds of ammunition, camouflage clothing, camouflaged backpacks, 15 rifles and shotguns and 10 semi-automatic pistols. Olsen faces one charge for the threat posted online.
