A 29-year-old man from San Antonio, Texas is facing charges after allegedly threatening his parents for “not voting his way” in the 2016 presidential election.
Chase Carter was taken into custody last Friday on a second-degree felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
After the election, Carter was “highly upset” at the results and started blaming other people, including his parents, and “made threats he was going to kill them,” according to the affidavit.
His girlfriend says he threatened her with a handgun back on Oct. 1 and has become increasingly abusive toward her lately. She went home Wednesday and saw his guns were missing from his apartment, fearing “what he may be capable of.” She told police Carter had been reading about mass shootings and spending time at the gun range recently.
Carter will face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
