Manhunt on for Ronald Lee Syvrud, who threatened to kill Donald Trump
- The search for the Arizona man, who faces multiple outstanding warrants, comes as Trump is in the state to visit the border with Mexico
An Arizona man is wanted after threatening over social media to kill former US president Donald Trump, the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office said on Thursday.
Trump, the Republican nominee for president, is in Cochise County as he visits the US border with Mexico as part of his campaign.
The man, Ronald Lee Syvrud, 66, has multiple outstanding warrants from Wisconsin, the sheriff’s office said.
“No, I have not heard that but I am not that surprised and the reason is because I want to do things that are very bad for the bad guys,” Trump said when asked about that threat against him in Arizona.
