San Antonio woman arrested after making threats against Donald Trump, police say

Authorities say Christina Montoya, 41, is also facing two other charges

WASHINGTON – The Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C., said a San Antonio woman is in custody after she allegedly made threats against former President Donald Trump.

Authorities said the woman, identified as 41-year-old Christina Montoya, was arrested on Friday.

Initially, the Metropolitan Police Department said Montoya was arrested after making “threats against a former president.”

A Metropolitan police report obtained by KSAT on Friday confirmed Trump as a victim in this case.

Officers said Montoya was also charged with carrying a pistol without a license and possessing an unregistered firearm.

Last month, Trump was wounded in the ear by an assassin’s bullet during a July 13 campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Despite a delayed response, the U.S. Secret Service killed the assassin.

One spectator was killed in the shootout. Two others were also hurt.

Less than a week after the shooting, Trump officially accepted the Republican nomination for President of the United States.
