Rashawn Smith, 20, was arrested on Sunday for allegedly creating a fake Facebook profile of a racist white Trump supporter to issue “hoax” terroristic threats against pro-Ahmaud Arbery protesters, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigations.
From Action News Jax, “Ahmaud Arbery: GBI arrests man for making online threats toward Arbery-related protests”:
[Rashawn Smith] was taken into custody in Midway, Ga. and charged with dissemination of information relating to terroristic acts, which carries a punishment of up to ten years in prison, $100,000 fine, or both. In a subsequent tweet, GBI said Smith created a Facebook account of someone else, which he used to post a hoax threat.
“The GBI has arrested Rashawn Smith, age 20, & charged him with Dissemination of Information Relating to Terroristic Acts for a Facebook post that contained a threat to future protests related to Ahmaud Arbery,” the GBI said. “Smith created a Facebook User ID of an unwitting individual to post a hoax threat.”
