DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) — An Ohio man is in custody after allegedly making threats to kill thousands in Cincinnati.

FBI Cincinnati alleges Scott Michael Hanna, 30, of Dayton, made a social media post on X on Thursday, July 31. According to Cincinnati FBI, Hanna posted that he wanted to organize mobs to kill people in Cincinnati, where he was “aiming to kill 30K by Sunday.”

“The FBI aggressively investigates those who threaten our communities with violence,” said Elena Iatarola, special agent in charge at FBI Cincinnati. “Threats like this impact the entire community and have serious consequences.”

Cincinnati police is said by the FBI to have reported Hanna’s alleged post to the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force, which allowed the FBI to reportedly track the post to him.

Allegedly, Hanna is known to law enforcement because of a “menacing incident” that reportedly occurred in September 2024. Hanna allegedly threatened to police that he was going to cut someone’s head off. In that instance, Hanna allegedly swung a sword at someone’s neck, which caused what the FBI describes as “a partial decapitation.”
