FBI Arrests Man for Online Threat Against Indicted BART Cop

FBI agents have arrested a man suspected of posting online messages threatening the life of a California transit cop who was involved in a controversial shooting earlier this year. Jeffrey Weaver, 47, of Roanoke, Virginia, is suspected of posting anonymous comments to the popular InfoWars.com site run by radio show host and free-speech advocate Alex Jones. Those comments, which were quickly deleted by moderators, threatened to kill Johannes Mehserle, a former police officer for Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART), who was caught on video last January shooting a 22-year-old man in the back at point-blank range while the youth was lying on the ground.
