US EditionLouisiana soldier accused of threatening to kill Jewish people in synagogue
Jakob Marcoulier faces up to five years in federal prison after an FBI tip led to charges over a violent antisemitic post on Discord.
- On Thursday, federal authorities charged 22-year-old Fort Polk soldier Jakob Marcoulier with transmitting a threat in interstate commerce after he allegedly targeted Jewish people and a synagogue on Discord.
- The FBI's National Threat Operations Center received an online tip in February identifying a Discord user named 'el.bostino' who allegedly made violent threats against Jewish people and synagogues.
- Marcoulier allegedly told others on Discord he planned to "kill Jewish people in a synagogue" with an AK, claiming he needed to ensure the "white youth is... secured."
- Arrested last Thursday, Marcoulier remains in U.S. Marshals Service custody pending further proceedings. A detention hearing is set for Wednesday afternoon, and he faces up to five years in federal prison.
- "Threats against synagogues and Jewish Americans are threats to the religious freedom promised to every single one of us," United States Attorney Zachary A. Keller said, commending the FBI's "vigilance and swift action" in identifying perpetrators.
