prompted protests outside of Disneyland\u2019s Grand California Hotel & Spa,<\/a> where Vance and his family were rumored to be staying. <\/p>\nThe visit came as a surprise, as Disneyland had not been placed on the vice president\u2019s public schedule.<\/p>\n
Aguayo posted three comments threatening the vice president at 6:14 p.m. that day under the username \u201c@jesses_andamy,\u201d according to the federal complaint filed Wednesday by U.S. Secret Service Special Agent Marjorie Edens. <\/p>\n
\u201cPipe bombs have been placed in preparation for J.D. Vance\u2019s arrival,\u201d the first comment read. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s time for us to rise up and you will be a witness to it,\u201d read the second.<\/p>\n
\u201cGood luck finding all of them on time there will be bloodshed tonight and we will bathe in the blood of corrupt politicians,\u201d read the third.<\/p>\n
The Instagram account used to make the comments appeared to be unavailable Friday morning.<\/p>\n
Aguayo could not be reached for comment. Court records did not note whether he has retained counsel. <\/p>\n
Edens and an Anaheim Police sergeant visited Aguayo at his apartment the day Vance arrived to question him about the posts. <\/p>\n
Aguayo initially denied knowing anything about the posts and suggested his social account may have been hacked, but later admitted to writing them according to the federal affidavit. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe claimed that he intended it merely as a joke to provoke attention and laughter,\u201d according to the affidavit. <\/p>\n
Aguayo allegedly told the agent he had intended to delete the posts but forgot.<\/p>\n
Secret Service agents, who secured a search warrant, reviewed Aguayo\u2019s phone and a shared laptop and found four Instagram accounts. <\/p>\n
The threat did not appear to affect Disneyland operations. A spokesperson for the theme park declined to comment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An Anaheim man is facing federal charges that he falsely claimed to have placed pipe bombs inside Disneyland…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":136687,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[69537,163,165,69540,164,8142,1341,6500,5679,100,224,1833,69538,5767,69539,10888,2176,316],"class_list":["post-136686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-anaheim","tag-aguayo","tag-anaheim","tag-anaheim-headlines","tag-anaheim-man","tag-anaheim-news","tag-comment","tag-disneyland","tag-jd-vance","tag-july","tag-news","tag-p-m","tag-park","tag-pipe-bomb","tag-post","tag-surprise-visit","tag-vice-president-jd-vance","tag-visit","tag-wednesday"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136686\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/136687"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
