Overview
- Adam G. Berryhill, 42, was arrested May 6 in Lebanon County and charged with making terroristic threats after posts on X named 20 Democratic state lawmakers.
- Police say the posts included a photo of a gun, a mention of a “Memorial Day Operation,” and a message that he would try legal steps before “I start shootings.”
- Investigators obtained search warrants for two X accounts and linked the posts to Berryhill through emails, phone records, and an IP address cited in a criminal complaint.
- State police now say the process to notify the targeted lawmakers broke down, and the agency says it has changed its procedures to alert members directly.
- Court records show Berryhill remains jailed on $250,000 bail after waiving a preliminary hearing, as officials condemn rising political threats and recall recent attacks, with some reports noting his 2016 guilty plea that included terroristic threats.
