The professional bounty hunter Duane Chapman has joined the search for one of the most wanted fugitives, Shawn Christy. Christy, who threatened President Donald Trump, became wanted by the FBI, the US Marshals and the US Secret Service for multiple offenses.

In a series of Facebook posts between June 2 and 12, 2018, Shawn Christy allegedly posted threats on Facebook, saying he was going to shoot the President. Furthermore, he threatened to shoot John M Morganelli, the district attorney of Northampton County, Pennsylvania, in the posts.

The fugitive is considered armed and dangerous, but Duane believes he is not. Duane stepped into the case because he was retained by an unknown friend of Christy’s family Wednesday afternoon.

Duane, scheduled to talk about his drug addiction recovery in Mansfield on September 28, says that he has “a very hot lead” on Christy’s location. Moreover, he said, “I have delivered messages to him. My goal is not to shoot him but get him to surrender.” Referring to Christy as “not a career criminal,” Duane said he has some hope of talking to the fugitive and getting him to surrender.
