A Wichita man has been sentenced to 21 months in prison for making a threat against the President of the United States.
Cody McCormick, 28, of Wichita, pleaded guilty to one count of making a threat against the President of the United States.
In April 2023, McCormick sent a Wichita television station a Facebook message detailing his intention to murder U.S. President Joseph (Joe) Biden.
The message read in part, “I will get a Greyhound bus ticket and go and shoot him.”
U.S. Secret Service agents interviewed McCormick, who told them that if given the opportunity, he would “force him (POTUS) to step down from office” and would “kidnap him”. He also told agents, “My intent is to kill Joe Biden if I don’t get the help I need.”
The U.S. Secret Service and the Wichita Police Department investigated the case, working together to bring McCormick to justice.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Matt Treaster prosecuted the case, ensuring that McCormick was held accountable for his actions.
McCormick’s sentence is a harsh reminder that threats against the President will not be taken lightly, and those who make such threats will face serious consequences.
The people of Wichita and the entire nation can rest a little easier knowing that McCormick is behind bars, and that justice has been served.
