This definitely sounds like an incident stemming from a mental health issue.
Watch below:
More from Fox News:
A man who was arrested Monday near the White House for allegedly intending to kill “all white police” faced a judge in court Tuesday after being charged with making felony threats.
Michael Arega, of Texas, was arrested Monday afternoon on the north side of Pennsylvania Avenue near the White House for saying he wanted to kill “all white police.”
In U.S. District Court on Tuesday, Arega, who works as an inspector and an Uber driver, told the judge he wanted his wife to represent him in court and attempted to refuse the representation of a public defender.
When the judge told Arega his wife, who is not an attorney, could not represent him, Arega said: “She is a child of God, and so am I.”
The judge agreed to have Arega held in custody until a detention hearing because he threatened violence against President Trump and police near the White House. He also agreed to have Arega undergo a mental evaluation.
This next thing makes it sound like he’s completely nuts:
A Facebook profile that appears to be Arega’s shows him “checked in” at the White House on Monday, and also includes posts with statements such as: “Now i am going to there to white House make sure kill All white POLICE !!” Another Facebook post included a photo of Trump with the caption “kill him in Jesus Name!”
Well that’s all well and good. Religious AND anti-white!! Enjoy the nuthouse, buddy!
