Edward Raymond Mellor, 52, stands accused of one count of threats against the president and successors to the presidency, according to a 3-page indictment filed in the Middle District of Florida.

"I want to assassinate the president," Edward Raymond Mellor, 52, told the FBI during a phone call, according to federal prosecutors. "He's a f–ing piece of s– and I'm going to kill him."

That 17-second-long phone call was made on the afternoon of April 1, to the public affairs office of the FBI's Jacksonville branch, according to a 4-page penalty notice filed by federal prosecutors this week.
