A West Virginia woman, aged 39, faces accusations of threatening to assassinate Donald Trump. Authorities allege she initiated a social media campaign to recruit individuals for this purpose.

Morgan Leigh Morrow was apprehended on Sunday and charged with a felony for making terroristic threats, according to official records accessed by Law&Crime.

The Jackson County Sheriff’s Office, in a press release, detailed that Morrow’s arrest resulted from a comprehensive investigation led by sheriff’s detectives alongside the Jackson County Bureau of Investigations. They claim that Morrow, from Ripley, West Virginia, utilized social media platforms to solicit individuals to “pursue and assassinate President Trump.”

The sheriff’s office has withheld extensive specifics about the investigation but clarified that their announcement of Morrow’s arrest is not intended as a “politically-driven statement.”

The release described the situation as “an ongoing criminal investigation with documented and concerning issues.”

Morrow has been detained at the South Central Regional Jail, and as of Monday morning, her bond had not been set.

While authorities did not reveal what Morrow is accused of writing, Inquisitr reported that she posted about seeking someone to shoot the president.

“Surely a sniper with a terminal illness can’t be a big ask out of 343 million,” she allegedly wrote in an online post.

A LinkedIn page that appears to belong to Morrow says that she has been a full-time parent since June 2009 and states that the 39-year-old has patience that “comes from being a full-time mom for 13 years.” Her education is listed as graduating from Marietta High School in Ohio in 2005.

Inquisitr further reported that Morrow is employed as a librarian at the Jackson County Public Library.

Morrow over the weekend also reportedly authored a profanity-laced Facebook post that called for Trump voters to be “shot in the face three times at point-blank range.” The post appears to be in response to federal agents in Minneapolis, Minnesota, shooting and killing protester Alex Pretti multiple times after the licensed gun owner had been disarmed.

“You had a hand in causing what is happening today, and I can only hope you suffer as much as the immigrants, the people of color, the LGBTQ+ people have suffered for generations, and how much mothers and nurses are suffering right now because you actively condemned them to this injustice with your vote,” the post apparently says. “We told you what would happen and you ignored us.”
