Indianapolis, Indiana - The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) received information from the TikTok internal security that Preston Pichett, 58, had posted a threat to commit a mass shooting of illegal immigrants on Donald J. Trump's Inauguration Day, on January 20, 2025. The post on Pichett's TicTok indicated that he was going to fatally shoot as many illegal immigrants in one day to exercise his 2nd amendment right to do so.
Pichett is a known MAGA cult follower and a Trump loyal supporter.
The FBI contacted the Indianapolis Metro Police Department who then tracked Pichett's IP computer to his address and arrested him on January 16, 2025 for intimidation to commit terrorist acts, a tier 5 felony in Indiana, which is not protected Free Speech in the state.
Police confiscated two long rifles from his home.
According to police, Pichett has a history of mental illness and had threaten to shoot up staff members of the Marion County District Attorney's Office as they walked to their vehicle in 2023.
In 2024, Pichett threatened to shoot a company in Florida. In both cases, Pichett was never charged.
The Marion County District Attorney's Office is reviewing the criminal complaint by the Indianapolis police to decide whether to file criminal charges against Pichett.
