DELTONA, Fla. (WTHR) — A Florida man is taking a plea deal after threatening to kill a member of Tyler Trent's family.

39-year-old John Matthew Pinkham is pleading guilty to a charge of threats to injure. He'll face up to five years in prison when he is sentenced.

Officers with the Volusia County Sheriff's Office arrested the 39-year-old in January.

Investigators say Pinkham posted on Trent's Facebook page after he passed away. Pinkham used the alias "Julie Homan," and allegedly threatened violence at a celebration of life event that had been scheduled.

"Funerals coming and I will appear like the reaper," Pinkham wrote, threatening to choke Tyler's mother to death. "I will be talked about forever...this is no idol (sic) threat."
