[DOJ FL press release]

St. Petersburg Man Charged With Making Threats Of A Mass Shooting

United States Attorney Roger B. Handberg announces the unsealing of a criminal
complaint charging Robert Trout III (19, St. Petersburg) with knowingly
transmitting in interstate commerce a true threat. If convicted, Trout faces a
maximum penalty of five years in federal prison.

According to the complaint, Trout posted a video on Instagram making threats to
go to New York City and "cause havoc on the subway" by shooting "anybody" that
Trout sees. Trout further threatened that this shooting would occur on the
evening of Thanksgiving, November 23, 2023, and stated "if you're from New York
City, do not take the train on Thursday evening." While making these threats,
Trout displayed multiple firearms, including two semi-automatic firearms with
extended clips containing a total of 60 bullets while stating "that's sixty
shots - that's sixty people dead." Several recent postings on Trout's Instagram
account in conjunction with witness statements allowed law enforcement to
identify Trout as the person responsible for making the threats.
