Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
WTVJ-TV reported on May 22 that 45-year-old Matthew Moulton of Walla Walla, Washington, was placed under arrest after he sent Volusia County, Florida, Sheriff Mike Chitwood an email on March 20 in which he allegedly stated, “I’m going to have to threaten you with death. It’s coming. There’s nothing you can do to stop it.”
Police went to Moulton’s home that day where he told them he “believed the threats to be satirical and artistic and designed within the parameters of the First Amendment.”
According to WTVJ’s report, police believed probable cause existed to arrest Moulton for the email, charging him with a felony for written or electronic threats to kill or do bodily injury.
A warrant for his arrest was put out March 31. Florida officials took him into custody on May 21.
Moulton was escorted down the airport escalator upon arriving in Florida. Who was waiting for him at the bottom? Chitwood.
“Matthew, I’m Sheriff Chitwood. I’m the guy you want to kill, and there’s nothing I can do about it,” Chitwood said to a clearly stunned Moulton.
“Challenge accepted,” he told Moulton. “I sent you a sermon,” Moulton said, trying to explain away his actions.
“But, you do know in Florida, a written threat to kill is a felony,” the sheriff explained. “Just so you know, I’m the one who made sure you came back, and I hope you enjoy your stay,” Chitwood quipped.
