Attorney General Pam Bondi announced in a press conference on Friday the arrest of George Isbell Jr., who was charged in a criminal complaint with “mailing threatening communications” to commentator Benny Johnson.

Bondi thanked the people who had worked on the case and said Isbell had been arrested on October 7.

“Benny is a well-known media personality, carrying a message very similar to Charlie [Kirk’s]. Grounded largely in faith and love of country. Just days after Charlie’s assassination, Benny received a letter at his home where he and Kate are raising their beautiful, beautiful young family,” Bondi said. “The author of this letter made it very clear that he hated Benny because of his views, and he wanted Benny dead.”
