IOWA CITY – Law enforcement did not take kindly to posts made to social media by an Iowa man who claimed he was plotting to “shoot every white cop” he sees.
According to a police arrest report released today by Iowa City police, 30-year-old Michael L. McCullum is now in the Johnson County Jail, arrested on a charge of aggravated misdemeanor first-degree harassment.
The trouble for McCullum started when police were notified that he allegedly wrote to a Facebook page on May 1 under a different name “I’ve thought about shooting every white cop I see in the head until I’m either caught by the police or killed by them. Ha!!!! I think I can pull it off. Might kill at least fifteen tomorrow. I’m plotting now.”
McCullum is being held on $100,000 cash-only bond at this time.
Court records show McCullum has two drunk driving convictions and a number of other driving while barred citations. He owes Iowa courts thousands of dollars in unpaid fines and court fees.
