According to court documents and statements made in court, in October 2023, the U.S. Capitol Police reviewed a series of posts on the social media platform X explicitly threatening to kill and maim various public officials, including two members of Congress.
Sullivan said investigators determined Haworth was the user of the X account and, on Oct. 24, 2023, the U.S. Secret Service and Farmington Police interviewed him at his residence and confirmed that he had written the posts.

According to Sullivan, on Oct. 30, 2023, Haworth made additional threatening X posts, including one stating “anyone working in law enforcement in the USA that tries to shoot me will be killed by me, if you see me trying to take back my government don’t try to stop me or you will be the one who dies and that's it!”
Haworth was arrested on Nov. 2, 2023, and has been detained since his arrest.
On Oct. 20, he pleaded guilty to making threatening communications.
Hall ordered, as part of his supervised release, that Haworth continue mental health treatment, not have any contact with victims, and allow his electronic devices to be monitored by the U.S. Probation Office.
This matter was investigated by the U.S. Capitol Police with the assistance of the U.S. Secret Service and the Farmington Police Department.
