GREENVILLE COUNTY, S.C. (WSPA) — A 19-year-old was accused on Thursday of threating to assassinate a public official on social platform X, the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) said.
On April 26, the X user by the name “Roxie Wolfie” posted a threat against a Palmetto State official, according to SLED.
The post said, “I’m going to assassinate [redacted] with a gun and I’m being 100 % dead a–,” according to the arrest warrant.
“Roxie Wolfie” was identified as Samuel Theodore Cain, 19. Cain admitted to posting the threat, therefore unlawfully, knowingly, and willfully delivered the threat to take the life of a public official, the legal document reads.
Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.) later shared a post on X, showing her name as the intended target.
Cain was arrested and charged with threatening the life of a public official and booked in the Greenville County Detention Center. The X user’s bond hearing is set to being at 9:30 a.m. EDT on May 16.
Mace also confirmed that she will appear at the bond hearing.
