Michigan man arrested in threats to FBI Director Chris Wray, Rep. Garamendi

When Walter’s father arrived at the residence, the dad told investigators “of his son’s mental instability and prior history of being committed to a Florida hospital,” the FBI agent wrote.

Walter’s mother later told police he had been “diagnosed with an unspecified psychosis,” according to the affidavit.

On Nov. 10, when Capitol Police made contact with Walter’s mother, she told them he “is refusing mental health treatment, is still in possession of a handgun, and made statements he would protect himself if anyone comes to try to take him from his home.”

Later that same day, Walter contacted the Capitol Police’s criminal investigations unit and “expressed strong discontent explaining the USCP should not have called his family about him” and said Capitol Police “are going to make it worse,” the affidavit said.

More than a week later, on Saturday, Walter allegedly used his Facebook account to post a series of threatening comments to a livestream video showing Wray, the FBI director, according to the affidavit.

“Director Wray is going to die every single day multiple times a day for raping my family over and over and lying to them and myself about it I will kill you I will you I will kill you director Wray you will die I will kill you in self defense,” one of Walter’s posts read.

Walter’s Facebook page also featured a number of comments “stating beliefs that half the Senators, the FBI, CIA, police, Tom Cruise, and Elon Musk are involved in a child slave rape ring, listing various locations where these rings are located, one of which identified the United States Capitol Building,” according to the FBI.

A firearms check showed that Walter has a registered Sig Sauer 9 mm semi-automatic pistol. Walter’s mother told the FBI he also has a revolver, according to the affidavit.
