ESPN Aids Authorities in Arresting a Man Accused of Making Threats Against Children in a Post about Lebron James

We have no idea how serious Yee’s threats really were, but considering his proximity to a local elementary and middle school and the fact that several guns were found at his current residence, it’s clear that he could possibly be the LeBron James of poor judgment. From the Associated Press:

 

An employee at ESPN headquarters in Bristol, Conn., notified local police the same day and they linked the posting to Yee’s home in Santa Clarita in northern Los Angeles County. Sheriff’s investigators said they were contacted Sunday and began surveillance on the home where Yee, 21, lives with his parents until a search warrant was obtained.

Experts said the bail amount was very high for a person suspected of making terrorist threats.

“To put it in perspective, $1 million is the presumptive bail for murder,” said Hanni Fakhoury, an attorney for the Electronic Frontier Foundation and a former federal public defender who is not involved in the case.
