PINELLAS COUNTY, Fla. — A teenager was arrested after authorities say he threatened to kill Pinellas County Commissioner Chris Latvala.
The Pinellas County Sheriff's Office said the 17-year-old responded to a thread on X (formerly Twitter) about the new Tampa Bay Rays stadium and tagged Latvala's account, stating, "I live 5 minutes from him. I'm gonna go to his house and blow his head off with my short-barreled."
PCSO detectives then launched an investigation, and the teenager turned himself in at the Pinellas County Juvenile Assessment Center.
He was charged with one count of written threats to kill.
