Overview
- San Antonio police arrested 26‑year‑old Jacob Wenske and charged him with two third‑degree felony counts of making terroristic threats, with combined bond set at $120,000.
- Charging documents say Wenske posted public comments such as “I know exactly where to bomb” and “I can’t wait to be the valet for her escort” under a local news post about Turning Point USA’s Women’s Leadership Summit.
- Investigators say they connected the Facebook account and a threatening January email to Wenske through subscriber records, a registered email, a linked phone number and IP address data.
- Turning Point USA and local authorities increased uniformed and private security, added bomb‑sniffing dogs and coordinated with federal partners to protect the June 5–7 event in San Antonio.
- The case comes after a series of threats against Erika Kirk since she became TPUSA’s CEO following her husband’s 2025 killing and illustrates how online threats can trigger criminal probes and heightened security at political events.
