Officials search near Pa. school for Trump threat suspect
The search continues for a Pennsylvania man accused of threatening President Donald Trump and a county prosecutor.
Federal, state and local police spent Tuesday morning near the Scranton School for Deaf and Hard of Hearing Children Clarks Summit looking for 27-year-old Shawn Christy.
Earlier this month, Christy allegedly stole a truck from his former employer which was later found near the Canadian border.
U.S. marshals now believe Christy stole another vehicle in that area and made his way back down to northeastern Pennsylvania.
On Friday, that second stolen vehicle overheated on Interstate 81 and they believe Christy broke into this school.
Once inside the school, federal agents say Christy stole bread and and damaged a vending machine before going out into the woods.
His actions were caught on surveillance cameras.
After searching the woods near the school, police did not find Christy, but discovered some of the food he allegedly took.
Law enforcement has been searching for the 27-year-old since he posted threats on Facebook last month
