Kris John Kinsey, 61, was arrested on a warrant out of Ohio at a campsite in a wooded area of the 700 block of Sunday road in Durham Township, by members of the Pennsylvania State Police Dublin Barracks around 9:15 p.m. on Jan. 15, PA State Police Trooper Nathan T. Branosky said.

Kinsey's arrest comes after an investigation -- with help from Elyria, Ohio police -- in which he posted threatening messages to Facebook intended for President-elect Joe Biden, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, Gov.

Kinsey was charged with possessing instrument of crime, terroristic threats, person not to possess firearms, marijuana and drug paraphernalia possession, and remanded to the Bucks County Prison, Branosky said.
