ZEPHYRHILLS, Fla. (WFLA) — A self-proclaimed internet troll has been arrested in Pasco County after posting multiple threats on social media the same day conservative activist Charlie Kirk was shot and killed, as per the arrest report.

Pasco County deputies said Benjamin Allan Goodson, 41, was using a Facebook account with his real name when he made the posts.

Authorities reported that one of the posts seemed to target “elite society,” with Goodson stating, “It’s time to cut the throats of the tippity top elite Pedoberg I’m so sick of you f***** I promise I’ll get one of your heads.”

Investigators said Goodson also posted about planning a mass casualty event and mentioned using his vehicle as a “deadly missile.”

“Justice will be served on this one, in so many ways. I can promise you myself haha, I’ve had enough. if my guns aren’t deadly projectiles then my car is a deadly missile,” read the post.

Detectives noted that Goodson used his real name and uploaded photos of himself to the Facebook account, which aligned with his driver’s license photo.

Investigators questioned Goodson and said he admitted to making the posts “in frustration over the Charlie Kirk assassination.”

Goodson told detectives that he is “an internet troll and just like(s) to talk on the platform,” according to the arrest report. He also mentioned getting “caught up in the heat of the moment” and acknowledged saying some “stupid things,” the report indicated.

Goodson, who lives in Zephyrhills, was arrested on Sept. 13 and charged with written threats to kill and written or electronic threat of a mass shooting or act of terrorism, according to the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office.
