Christopher Charles Perez, of San Antonio, was detained by the FBI this week and charged with one count of false information and hoaxes related to weapons of mass destruction.
A 39-year-old Texas man was arrested by federal agents this week after allegedly claiming on social media that he paid a person to intentionally spread COVID-19.
In the suspected social media threat, Perez said he did so to deter others from visiting stores, which he claimed would then help to"prevent the spread" of the infectious respiratory disease that is spreading across the U.S. Investigators later determined the Facebook threat had been false and no retail stores were actually targeted. Regardless, Perez was booked on Tuesday afternoon and, if convicted, faces up to five years in prison. He was taken into federal custody, where he remained as of yesterday.
