Part 5/9:
Sheriff Chitwood's proactive measures resulted in a series of high-profile arrests of individuals making threats against him online. Richard Golden, Tyler Meyer, Christian Zapata, and even a troll from Canada named Tony Stromberg were among those who faced serious legal repercussions for their threats. In every instance, Chitwood publicly celebrated the arrests, declaring that threats — even those posted in jest or under the guise of “Minecraft” — would not be tolerated in his jurisdiction. Each arrest became a testament to his message that online anonymity would not shield threats from accountability.
