Arrest made for Craigslist post calling for police killings

Police have arrested a Christian County man in connection with a Craigslist post calling for the targeted killing of police officers.

Marvin Poindexter Gee has been charged with solicitation for murder of a police officer following the discovery of a Craigslist post encouraging people to burn down police stations and shoot officers in the head, officials said.

Kentucky State Police arrested Gee after an investigation involving Kentucky law enforcement and the Greater Cincinnati Fusion Center, a regional counter-terrorism cooperative with tools to fight cyber crime.

Hamilton County Sheriff's Department spokesman Mike Robison stated the Craigslist post appeared after the body camera footage was released showing the fatal shooting of Sam DuBose.

Gee is being held in the Christian County Detention Center in Hopkinsville on a $500,000 bond.
