Authorities warn that Christy should be considered armed and dangerous. U.S. Marshals raided the home of Christy's parents Wednesday morning in Kline Township where they executed a search warrant but he was not there. "We were scared. We don't know what's going on. The Army's out here and no one will tell us what's happening," Gloria Brogan said.

Christy is accused of making threats to President Donald Trump, Northampton County's district attorney, and various police. Local news spoke to Christy's parents who say he is not dangerous. "I wouldn't find him as a threat right now, he's just angry. He's angry at the whole situation," his father Craig Christy said. His mother Karen Christy said, "I understand where he's coming from because he's been through so much hell the past ten years and he has not seen any justice."

This is not the first time Christy has been in trouble for making threats. He was sentenced to probation along with his father in 2012 for making hundreds of threatening phone calls to the former governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, and her attorney. Deputy U.S. Marshal Robert Clark said, "With the recent threats and the language and the volume and everything that he's saying, it's just something that we're not going to take a chance with not taking it seriously."

A reward of $5,000 is being offered for information leading to Christy's arrest. If you have any information you can contact U.S. Marshals at (484) 358-1974.
