A 42-year-old Michigan man has been arrested for allegedly issuing death threats against FBI Director Kash Patel. Anthony Daniel Palazzolo of Chesterfield Township was taken into custody after federal authorities investigated threatening messages.

According to prosecutors, Palazzolo sent a series of Facebook messages to an associate of Patel's earlier this month in which he claimed to have 'put a hit out' on the FBI director and called him a 'dead' person using profanity. In a separate phone call with an FBI agent, he allegedly threatened to appear at the Detroit field office and use deadly force against 'every single one of you government officials—FBI Secret Service will all be' killed, according to investigators.

Palazzolo appeared in federal court on Friday and was temporarily detained pending further proceedings.
