After the arrest of 26-year-old Luigi Mangione at an Altoona, Pennsylvania, McDonald’s, police say they’re now being threatened along with locals involved in the arrest.
In an impromptu news conference at the Altoona Police Department, Deputy Chief Derek Swope said that they are investigating threats made against the department and local people who were involved in the arrest, WTAJ reports.
“This is clearly a very polarized case. We have received some threats against our officers and building here. We’ve started investigating some threats here against some citizens in our community. We’re taking all those threats seriously and doing all the follow-up we can with those,” Swope said.
