Manhunt Near Mexico Border For Suspect Cops Say Threatened To Kill Donald Trump

This is scary … cops in Arizona are searching for a man they say threatened to kill Donald Trump, and police are scouring the border for him on the same day the former president is making a visit.

The Cochise County Sheriff’s Office announced a manhunt Thursday for a 66-year-old man named Ronald Lee Syrvud, who law enforcement says is “being sought as an investigative lead for threats to kill a presidential candidate.”

Cochise County includes Sierra Vista, Arizona … where Trump is visiting the U.S.-Mexico border today to make remarks on what he calls “the plague of migrant crime.”

Trump’s running mate, J.D. Vance, visited the same stretch of border earlier this month … and Trump announced Wednesday he was heading there himself.

The Sheriff says Syrvud is wanted on several outstanding warrants … including one from Wisconsin for DUI and 2 from Arizona for hit-and-run and failing to register as a sex offender.

Unclear what exact threats Syrvud allegedly made against Trump … but police reportedly say he made the threats on social media.

Clearly, the Sheriff is taking this seriously … and it’s been less than 6 weeks since Trump survived an assassination attempt at an outdoor rally in Butler, PA.

Syrvud is described as a 6-foot-tall white male with white hair and green eyes, who wears glasses … and the Sheriff says anyone with information on his whereabouts should call their local law enforcement agency or 911.
