FBI agents arrested 63-year-old Windsor resident Dwight Pettegrove on Thursday for transmitting a threatening interstate communication.
He posted threats on Jan. 16 and Sept. 28, 2025, which the FBI flagged in July 2025 after Google reported his comments about killing its CEO.
Assistant U.S. attorney Alisa Ross moved to detain Pettegrove without bail, saying the threat endangers community safety and the charge carries up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
