PORT ORANGE, Fla. – A Volusia County man was arrested on allegations of threatening to shoot and kill President Donald Trump in a social media post.
Tranard Dell, of Port Orange, was arrested last month on charges of threatening to kill the president and influencing, impeding or retaliating against a federal officer by threat to murder, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court.

According to authorities, Dell in March tagged @realDonaldTrump in a post on X and said, “...I’ll kill your (expletive) myself you better not come to Florida I’m gone shoot your brains everywhere.”
The Secret Service tracked the post to Dell, who was found in Port Orange and was arrested.
Officials said Dell initially denied making the threat but later admitted to it, saying he was “worried that the Trump administration was going to take away his federally assisted housing.”
