A man who threatened to “kill 85 faggots at a gay club” in messages sent on Grindr has been arrested.
Me’Schach D. Israel-Miller, from Columbus, Ohio, reportedly sent the threatening messages on the gay dating app on March 1.
The user who received the message then took screenshots and posted them on social media.
The post reportedly went viral, sparking police to investigate the threats.
Police officials used pictures that he had on his profile to then find his Facebook.
From there, they found his home address and made an arrest.
The 27-year-old has been charged with inducing panic and aggravated menacing.
His arraignment hearing is set for today, March 8.
The message is doubly menacing as Israel-Miller would have had to be in a similar area to the user he was threatening, given Grindr’s location-based nature.
Following the threat, police put extra officers on duty in the gay district.
