A New Mexico man who threatened Donald Trump days before his second presidential inauguration will spend less than a year behind bars.
Tyler Leveque, 38, was sentenced to around 10 months in prison "for using social media to issue violent threats against the President," the Justice Department announced Wednesday. Court records show that U.S. District Judge Kea W. Riggs, a Trump appointee, sentenced Leveque to "324 days or time served whichever is less." He was also ordered to be under supervised release for three years following his release.
In January, Leveque made multiple social media posts signaling his intention to come after the president and other high-profile and high-ranking individuals.
