Michigan State Police EST Stop Terrorist Threat

November 2, 2021

Facebook alerted the MSP Operations Center and shared a video posted on social media of a man making threats towards downtown Traverse City.

A suspect was quickly identified, and local law enforcement agencies were made aware of the situation and helped coordinate efforts with the MSP to maintain public safety.

The suspect, a 24-year-old Traverse City man, had previous encounters with police and is known to exhibit anti-police behavior. The Grand Traverse County Prosecutor’s Office was contacted, and an arrest warrant was authorized for one count of False Report or Threat of Terrorism.

During a search of the home, troopers recovered a loaded AR-15 rifle and a tactical vest with rifle trauma plates. The suspect was lodged in the Grand Traverse County Jail where he is awaiting arraignment.

The MSP was assisted by deputies from the Grand Traverse County Sheriff’s Office and officers from the Traverse City Police Department.
