HAMILTON, Ohio (WXIX) – Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones is changing how his agency arms and trains deputies based on an ominous warning from FBI Director Christopher Wray.
Sheriff Jones just got back from the National Sheriff’s Association’s annual winter conference in Washington D.C., where Wray’s update for them has him convinced a terror attack in the U.S. is imminent.
He says he wants Butler County to be ready.
“It’s gonna happen here,” Sheriff Jones said Tuesday. “It’s going to be all hands-on deck. We want you to be concerned now. You are a fool if you don’t listen to the chatter.”
He said the FBI director warned that:

- Chinese hackers are ready to “wreak havoc” on critical US infrastructure such as American water treatment plants, electrical grids, oil and natural gas pipelines and transportation systems to disrupt our daily lives if the U.S. and China ever go to war. Wray first publicly revealed this last week in a U.S. House committee hearing along with:
- There’s been far too little public focus on a cyber threat that affects every single American.
- China’s hacking force outnumbers FBI cyber and intelligence analysts “at least 50-to-1.”
