A Pennsylvania man who messaged a social media account of the TV show “On Patrol: Live” stating he would kill a Volusia sheriff’s deputy has been arrested for making written threats to kill.
Jason Senseman, 51, was taken into custody by Pennsylvania State Police Wednesday evening in Jonestown, Pennsylvania, where he admitted to sending several threatening and/or vulgar messages to the show via Facebook Messenger.
One of those messages was, “I would kill Royce James,” a VSO deputy who was featured on the show. Previous messages stated, “I am not scared of killing anyone,” and, “Some of your officers are worthy of death.”
“On Patrol: Live” notified VSO on Sunday, Sept. 24, and detectives contacted law enforcement in Pennsylvania, where officers were aware of the messages and familiar with Senseman.
When contacted by a state trooper, Senseman said he did send the messages while watching the show and drinking, and that no one else uses his phone or his Facebook account.
Senseman’s charge is a second-degree felony that carries a bond of $100,000. He will be extradited to Volusia County at a later date, and Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood plans to meet him, alongside James, before transport to the Volusia County Branch Jail.
