Christy has threatened to use “full lethal force on any law enforcement officer that tries to detain me.” Authorities are hoping the public can help them learn Christy's whereabouts.
A federal warrant was issued June 19 for Christy in relation to Facebook threats to the Northampton County district attorney, stating, “Keep it up Morganelli, I promise I’ll put a bullet in your head as soon as I put one in the head of President Donald J. Trump.”
Christy was charged July 9 by the Pennsylvania State Police with a burglary at his former employer, Hazleton Oil. Christy allegedly entered the business illegally and is suspected of stealing a black Ford F-350 which was found about 100 yards from the Canadian border in Constable, New York, authorities said.
The U.S. Marshals have been attempting to capture Christy, a white male, 5-foot-10, about 160 pounds, with a light complexion, short dark blonde hair and a beard. He speaks with a noticeable lisp and claims to be a survivalist.
Any information will be considered confidential. Persons having information should contact the U.S. Marshals at 1-877-Wanted-2 (1-877-926-8332).
Christy should be considered armed and dangerous and people should not attempt to arrest him by themselves, authorities said.
