Man charged with threatening Biden said he was 'coming to the White House,' Secret Service alleges

A Kansas man is facing charges after he allegedly threatened to harm President Joe Biden, according to court documents released Friday.

Scott Ryan Merryman, first called a police department in Independence, Kansas on Tuesday and told officers that he was on his way to Washington, D.C. to see the president, a Secret Service agent said in an affidavit in support of a criminal complaint.

Agents located and interviewed Merryman on Wednesday in a parking lot of a Cracker Barrel restaurant in Hagerstown, Maryland. Following a search, the man was found in possession of three rounds of ammunition and a spotting scope, but no weapons, the agent said.

Merryman then called the White House Switchboard on Thursday and made threats against Biden, saying he was “coming to the White House, and was going to cut off the head of the snake/anti-Christ,” the agent alleged.

Not hard to envision someone bringing him an untraceable rifle.
There are lone nuts, but lately they seem to be more coordinated.
