Ormond Beach Man Charged with Threatening the President
Orlando, Florida – United States Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe announces the unsealing of an indictment charging Sheldon James Biddle (25, Ormond Beach) with threatening to kill the President of the United States.
The indictment alleges that on April 2, 2025, Biddle made a threat to take the life of the President of the United States in a series of postings from an online account belonging to him.
Specifically, Biddle indicated that the President was going to get assassinated for engaging in treason, a true threat of violence.
An indictment is merely a formal charge that a defendant has committed one or more violations of federal criminal law, and every defendant is presumed innocent unless, and until, proven guilty.
This case was investigated by United States Secret Service, the Ormond Beach Police Department, and the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office.
It will be prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Rachel Lasry.
If convicted, Biddle faces a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison.
According to the indictment, Biddle’s online postings were a serious threat to the President and the country as a whole.
