The librarian has been charged with one count of terroristic threats.

The Facebook post included a disclaimer, reading: "NOTE: This is not meant to be a political - oriented statement. This is an active criminal investigation with documented and troubling concerns. Stay safe and stay warm, everyone."

According to the criminal complaint, on January 25 deputies learned of an alleged threat of violence "directed toward an unknown individual, which was believed to be a public official."

"When you saddle up on the horse of stupidity, you have to be prepared for the ride that follows," Mellinger said, per local news. "We're just trying to do our part in making sure that it's not acted upon, and there's no one that's following her footsteps to try to carry out the plan."
