At approximately 1:20 p.m. on Thursday, June 5, the Ormond Beach Police Department arrested Sheldon Biddle, 25, who was wanted on an open and active federal warrant issued by the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida.
Biddle is known to have made antisemitic statements and radical threats of violence under the guise of protecting the Constitution. He has also expressed hostility toward law enforcement.
Biddle was located at the park at 440 N. Nova Road. Biddle was compliant and taken into custody without incident.
According to federal and local investigations, Biddle is accused of making numerous online threats directed at President Donald Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Elon Musk and Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino.
“We have absolutely no tolerance for threats of violence in our city,” Police Chief Jesse Godfrey said. “No one should feel unsafe in their place of worship, neighborhood or community, and we will act swiftly to hold offenders accountable.”
