A man in Utah has been indicted on charges of threatening to kill President Donald Trump during his visit to the state last month.

Travis Luke Dominguez, 33, of Midvale, Utah, was charged in an 11-count indictment that included two counts of threatening the life of the president on Dec. 4, according to a statement by the U.S. attorney’s office.


Dominguez also faces five counts of “maliciously conveying false information” regarding attempts to “kill, injure, and intimidate individuals” at several areas in the state, among other charges.

Beyond the president, his targets included local police officers, moviegoers at a theater complex in South Jordan, Utah, other regional businesses.

“The threats generally involved an active shooter situation or the use of explosives,” the U.S. attorney’s office added.

The indictment was filed in District Court in Salt Lake City on Wednesday.

In communications obtained by authorities, the individual vowed to “kill the sexist racist homophobic President Trump,” according to the indictment.

During his December trip to Utah, the president announced that he was removing 2 million acres of protected territory from two national monuments in the state, a move considered a victory for Republican lawmakers there that set off a series of protests from environmental activists.
