Eddington Man Arrested, Charged with Making Online Threat

PORTLAND, Maine: An Eddington man, Thadius Wind, was arrested today and charged by criminal complaint with transmitting an interstate threat.

As alleged in the criminal complaint, in 2024, the FBI received information from Meta about a Facebook user who had discussed committing violence against police and military. The FBI also received online tips from members of the public about threatening statements made on X (previously known as Twitter). After further investigation, in November 2024 the FBI obtained and executed a search warrant relating to the X account. The recovered posts contained threats to Jews, political figures, the Supreme Court, and others. Details associated with the account were traced to Thadius Wind.

The FBI and Secret Service are investigating the case with assistance from the Penobscot County Sheriff’s Office.

A complaint is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
