A man in Florida will not spend any more time behind bars for threatening to kill President Donald Trump and warning that he would "end up like Kennedy."
Sheldon Biddle pleaded guilty to threatening to kill the president of the United States and interstate transmission of a threat to injure, according to court records reviewed by Law&Crime. He was subsequently sentenced to one year of probation.
Biddle was 25 when he was arrested in June 2025 and indicted on the two charges. A superseding indictment filed months later — on Oct. 9, 2025 — detailed what he did.
Between Feb. 22, 2025, and April 7, 2025, Biddle wrote on social media, "I promise to kill all the tyrants" and "Do I have to f—in kill someone to get attention?" per the indictment. "So If say someone should kill…@realDonaldTrump for betraying Americans & enforcing tyranny I'm the bad guy?"
Biddle apparently had more to say.
"1 man fighting tyrants by himself will, be labeled a domestic terrorist. That's why I encourage people to join me, we have strength in numbers," Biddle added before again tagging Trump, making an antisemitic comment, and warning: "Shut up before you end up like Kennedy."
Some of Biddle's comments were even more direct, with him saying Trump is "going to get assassinated if you keep betraying Americans" and "Trump is gonna get assassinated for being a treasonous traitor."
Biddle also directed his ire at an unidentified member of Congress, asking where their house was and writing, "I'm warning you now, stop being a tyrant and f—ing over Americans or else you will not like what happens" and "Thomas Jefferson would have killed you already … YOU WILL BE PUNISHED."
He was arrested by the Ormond Beach Police Department, with the law enforcement agency saying Biddle was also accused of making online threats against Elon Musk, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and then-Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino.
"We have absolutely no tolerance for threats of violence in our city," Ormond Beach Police Chief Jesse Godfrey said at the time. "No one should feel unsafe in their place of worship, neighborhood or community, and we will act swiftly to hold offenders accountable."
As part of his probation, Biddle may not commit any crimes and must be drug-tested within 15 days of being placed on supervision, and then at least two other times over the next year.
