Woman Federally Charged over Alleged Threat to Shoot Trump at Football Game
Megan Lorraine Utz faces federal charges after a Facebook post allegedly threatened to shoot Trump over his possible appearance at the game.
- On October 8, 2026, federal prosecutors in Alabama indicted Megan Lorraine Utz, of Courtland, for allegedly threatening President Donald Trump regarding his planned attendance at the Alabama-Georgia college football game in Tuscaloosa.
- Investigators linked the Facebook threat to Utz by matching her profile photo to her driver's license photo, which displayed a distinctive neck tattoo. Social media records also matched her birthday and pointed to Florence.
- The suspect's October 5 post stated, "I'll put a bullet through him if he dares." FBI and Secret Service agents arrested Utz on October 6 after a foot chase in Florence.
- Florence police initially arrested Utz on a local misdemeanor warrant for harassing communications. She faces arraignment in Birmingham on Nov. 4 for the federal charges.
- U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama Phillip Williams said the case reflects a "united front" against threats to national leaders. Court records detail prior police encounters, including a 2024 local warrant over harassing messages.
