A 41-year-old Toledo, Ohio, man was charged in a federal case alleging he made criminal threats against Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Facebook.
He"stated he was very proud of that post he made," the affidavit says.
Ireland was convicted in Florida in 1996 for"dealing in stolen property," and he had active warrants, one for violating probation in that case and another for failing to appear in a marijuana possession case in Cook County, Georgia, according to the charging document. The ammunition was enough to charge him with suspicion of being a felon in possession of a firearm and being a fugitive in possession of a firearm, according to the charging document"There is absolutely no place in the marketplace of ideas for threats of violence against any person, especially those who are elected to represent the American people," said Justin Herdman, U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Ohio, in a statement.
