TOLEDO, Ohio – In a shocking turn of events, Jerime Graham-Woods, a 34-year-old man from Mt. Vernon, Ohio, has been sentenced to 42 months (3.5 years) in prison for making threatening and hostile comments on a popular social media platform, which advocated for violence against law enforcement and government officials.

The charges against Graham-Woods include Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person, a conviction for Domestic Violence in 2012, and Interstate Communications with a Threat to Injure. He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge James R. Knepp after pleading guilty last November.

Some of these comments included the following: “I can’t wait to be a part of the violent revolution;” “I can’t wait to start shooting law enforcement;” “lotta bodies in my future;” and “I’m very much for shooting police.”

During the investigation into the dangerous threats, law enforcement discovered a video posted on a popular social media platform depicting Graham-Woods shooting a Heckler & Koch model MP5SD 9mm submachine gun at an indoor shooting range, which he was prohibited from possessing due to his prior misdemeanor domestic violence conviction.

This case was investigated by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) and the FBI Toledo Resident Agency. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Frank H. Spryszak for the Northern District of Ohio.

Graham-Woods was also ordered to serve three years of supervised release after imprisonment. The sentence is a stark reminder of the consequences of making threats against law enforcement and illegally possessing firearms.
