A Minnesota man faces federal charges after authorities say he posted a threatening image of Attorney General Pam Bondi on social media. Tyler Maxon Avalos, 29, of St. Paul, uploaded a graphic showing Bondi with a sniper scope over her face and text offering $45,000 for her death. The FBI traced the post through digital records and arrested Avalos, who has prior convictions for stalking and domestic assault in Minnesota and Florida.
Prosecutors charged Avalos with interstate transmission of threats to injure or kill. The post appeared on TikTok with a caption questioning government accountability. Investigators said they treated the threat as credible, given Bondi's position as the nation's chief law enforcement officer. Avalos was released while awaiting trial, and federal agents continue examining his online activity.
