A Florida State fan is under investigation from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers head of team security after sending threatening tweets regarding Tampa Bay General Manager Jason Licht last week, the Tampa Bay Times and ESPN are reporting.

Mike Rogers -- who goes by the Twitter handle @LuvDemNoles22 -- sent a procession of angry tweets directed at Licht after the Buccaneers selected defensive tackle Vita Vea over FSU safety Derwin James with the 12th overall selection in the NFL Draft on Thursday.

One tweet in particular had a gif of the murder scene from the movie "King of New York" with the accompanying caption reading, "When I see Jason Licht the next time I roll through Tampa."

Rogers -- a resident of Houston, Texas -- has since deleted his Twitter account.

The Tampa Bay Times reached out to Rogers, who called the tweets a "total exaggeration" and said that he was "caught up in the moment. It was just a tasteless tweet. I'm not a psychopath."

Per federal law, a person found guilty of communicating a threat to injure a person -- including over the internet -- is subject to a fine or up to five years in federal prison.
