Oklahoma Man Pleads Guilty After Making Online Threat to Kill the President
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Western District of Oklahoma announced that Howard Raymond Gimmey, 47, of Midwest City, in Oklahoma County, Oklahoma, has pleaded guilty to communicating a threat in interstate commerce. U.S. Attorney Robert J. Troester made the announcement.
According to public records, on May 5, 2026, Gimmey posted a message on social media stating, "I'm going to kill the President…." Court records allege that Gimmey posted the statement online knowing that the communication would be viewed as a threat by others.
On October 6, 2026, a federal grand jury charged Gimmey with communicating a threat. He pleaded guilty on November 3, 2026, and admitted he made the comment online threatening to kill the President.
At sentencing, Gimmey faces up to five years in federal prison and a fine of up to $250,000. The case was investigated by FBI Oklahoma City's Joint Terrorism Task Force, the United States Secret Service, and the Midwest City Police Department. Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt Dillon is prosecuting the case. (Source: U.S. Department of Justice)
