The St. Louis Circuit Attorney’s office said Thursday that 35-year-old Jason Valentine is charged with 10 counts of making a terrorist threat meant to frighten people.
The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that Valentine is being held on a $100,000 cash-only bail. It’s not clear from online court records whether he has an attorney.
The probable cause statement says Valentine tweeted about “kill a pig night” throughout December. It also says Valentine threatened an explosion at the Justice Center on Wednesday.
Many of the tweets allegedly mentioned Ferguson, where a black 18-year-old was shot and killed by a white police officer. Valentine’s Twitter account has been suspended.
