The threatening message, sent on March 20, claimed, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to have to threaten you with death.&#8221; When approached by police, Moulton argued that his threats were meant to be satirical and protected by the First Amendment.<\/p>\n<p>Although he believed the threats were artistic expression, officers decided to arrest him based on the seriousness of the messages. A warrant was issued on March 31, and he was taken into custody on May 21. Upon arriving in Florida, Moulton encountered Chitwood, who confronted him about the threats, expressing his incredulity and reiterating the legal repercussions of such actions.<\/p>\n<p>During a recorded exchange, Moulton struggled to justify his threats and seemed flustered when faced with the sheriff, who humorously informed him about the consequences of his behavior. Chitwood explained that in Florida, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/michael-savage-to-newsmax-tv-biden-cannot-fire-me\/\" title=\"Michael Savage to Newsmax TV: Biden Cannot Fire Me\">written threat<\/a> to kill constitutes a felony, and he added some lighthearted remarks about Moulton&#8217;s upcoming jail stay. Moulton identified himself as a christian in his defense, but Chitwood dismissed this without validation. The incident highlights the disconnect between online bravado and real-life accountability, providing a comical yet serious reminder of the consequences of making threats.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcmiami.com\/news\/local\/watch-volusia-county-sheriff-confronts-man-who-allegedly-sent-him-death-threat\/3620852\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">WTVJ-TV<\/a> reported on May 22 that 45-year-old Matthew Moulton of Walla Walla, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/washington-post-makes-humiliating-correction-buying-gaza-massacre-hysteria-didnt-give-proper-weight-israels-denial\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington<\/a>, was placed under arrest after he sent Volusia County, Florida, Sheriff Mike Chitwood an  on March 20 in which he allegedly stated, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m going to have to threaten you with death.

WTVJ-TV reported on May 22 that 45-year-old Matthew Moulton from Walla Walla, Washington, was arrested after sending a message to Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood on March 20 in which he allegedly threatened, &#8220;I&#8217;m going to have to threaten you with death. It&#8217;s coming. There&#8217;s nothing you can do to stop it.&#8221; When police visited Moulton&#8217;s home that day, he claimed the threats were meant as satire and artistic expression protected by the First Amendment. However, authorities believed there was enough evidence to charge him with a felony for making written or electronic threats of violence. A warrant for his arrest was issued on March 31, and Florida officials apprehended him on May 21.<\/p>\n<p>Upon arriving in Florida, Moulton was greeted at the airport by Sheriff Chitwood. &#8220;Matthew, I&#8217;m Sheriff Chitwood. I&#8217;m the guy you want to kill,&#8221; Chitwood said as Moulton appeared shocked. &#8220;Challenge accepted,&#8221; he added humorously after Moulton attempted to justify his actions by saying he had sent a sermon instead of a threat. The sheriff reminded him that in Florida making written threats is a felony and quipped about ensuring his return while also mentioning that Moulton would not be seeing Mickey Mouse during his stay and would need to cover the costs of his flight and jail time.<\/p>\n<p>Challenging Moulton directly about why he wanted him dead left him visibly flustered; he did not expect this confrontation with someone he had threatened online. When Moulton claimed justification through Christianity citing Corinthians, Chitwood responded affirmatively but pointed out inconsistencies in his argument based on their conversation.<\/p>\n<p>According to an affidavit mentioned by WFLA-TV, this incident stemmed from Sheriff Chitwood&#8217;s campaign aimed at publicizing mugshots of students who falsely reported school shootings in 2024. The entire encounter highlights how online bravado can falter when faced with real-life consequences<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2450396,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Moulton.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[57671,19215,57670],"class_list":["post-2450395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-challenge-accepted","tag-punk","tag-sheriffs-life"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Moulton.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2450395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2450395"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2450395\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2450399,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2450395\/revisions\/2450399"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2450396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2450395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2450395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2450395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
