Arrested Army Veteran Accused of Threatening to Kill Military Personnel

Former Army veteran Christian Beyer has been charged with posting a YouTube video in which he threatened to kill military personnel he believed had wronged him at Fort Irwin. Beyer, who was court martialed in 2021 for assault, was arrested at his father's home in Sonoma County. The military was concerned about his knowledge of accessing Fort Irwin through alternate means. Beyer also allegedly got into a fight with elderly individuals, brandishing a knife before fleeing the scene. The FBI and Joint Terrorism Task Force are involved in the case, and Beyer faces charges of interstate threats, potentially leading to a five-year federal prison sentence.
