A Jefferson County man could face felony charges for a Facebook post authorities consider to be terroristic threatening.
On Wednesday, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office compiled an affidavit which was forwarded to Jefferson County Prosecutors seeking the formal filing of felony charges for first-degree terroristic threatening against a member of their own following a Facebook posting by 33-year-old Montrell Wine.
In his Facebook post, littered with expletives, Wine names a specific Jefferson County Sheriff's Deputy, calls him names and says, "so to prison i go next year im on cop killen."
Jefferson County Sheriff's Officials say the post is against the law as described pursuant to Arkansas Criminal Code Annotated 5-13-301, terroristic threatening.
First-degree terroristic threatening is a class d felony and if found guilty, Wine could face up to 6 years in the Arkansas Department of Corrections and a fine of no more than $10,000.

I wonder if he's actually the person that wrote this. Could somebody else have used his page to post it? I admit it makes him look like the guilty party for sure, but...
