CROSBY, Texas (KTRK) -- ABC13 has learned the Secret Service is handling the matter involving a Crosby High School student who made a video threatening President-elect Joe Biden. Over the weekend, a video surfaced of a teenager who displayed guns, and asked for his Trump supporters to meet up and "assassinate Joe Biden."

Officials added the boy's parents voluntarily gave up weapons. If the student isn't charged, attorney Steve Shellist, who isn't involved in this case, said he'll be shocked. "This is as clear cut of a case of a terroristic threat as I've ever seen," Shellist explained. Shellist said even though the student is a minor, it doesn't mean he can't get in trouble. "There are still crimes, and you can prosecute someone as a minor," Shellist explained. "It would just be handled in a different way."
Making a threat against a president-elect could land you five years behind bars.

The man charged with a crime said he had to post a bond and is now wearing an ankle monitor. If convicted, he faces five years behind bars. "Just don't do it," he explained. "It's not worth it. It doesn't prove your point."
