Teh firearm was reportedly taken in December, transported to St. Louis, and later left in a friend\u2019s vehicle. It was found January 3 in a vehicle brought to a Greyhound station, and text messages from Parsons suggested she intended to use the pistol to kill the president. Parsons is charged in Missouri with one count of stealing a firearm. The Ozark County Sheriff\u2019s Office contacted the U.S. Secret Service, and a mugshot was posted on February 8; Newsweek noted that no federal charges had been filed at that time. The piece also references other assassination attempts against Trump in 2024, including a July incident in Butler, Pennsylvania, that wounded a bystander, and a separate thwarted plot at a Florida golf course, which was stopped by a Secret Service agent.  <\/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>Authorities in Missouri arrested a woman who <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ex-minneapolis-police-officers-plead-not-guilty-to-violating-george-floyds-civil-rights\/\" title=\"Ex-Minneapolis Police ...rs Plead Not Guilty To Violating George Floyd\u2019s Civil Rights\">allegedly planned<\/a> to assassinate President Donald Trump with a firearm she stole from her father.<\/p>\n<p>Johnetta Parsons allegedly stole the gun back in December, transported it to St. Louis, and left the weapon in her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/watch-seemingly-enraged-humpback-whale-capsizes-boat-sends-fishermen-into-the-ocean-in-terrifying-video\/\" title=\"Watch: Seemingly Enraged Humpback Whale Capsizes Boat, Sends Fishermen into the Ocean in Terrifying Video\">friend&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s vehicle, according to a criminal complaint, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/alleged-trump-assassination-plot-foiled-missouri-sheriff-11661456\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Newsweek<\/a> reported.<\/p>\n<p>Parsons&rsquo;
