Police charge man for alleged terrorist threats against Archdiocese of Saint Louis

Jeremiah Robinson, 32, of Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, faces a felony charge for allegedly making terroristic threats against the Archdiocese of Saint Louis. The St. Louis prosecuting attorney’s office charged Robinson on Sept. 16 with a Class D felony, which carries a potential prison sentence of up to seven years.

Prosecutors allege Robinson posted two videos to TikTok on Sept. 15. In the first video, he reportedly stated he was two minutes away from the archdiocesan headquarters and claimed God instructed him to kill everyone entering the church. In a second video filmed in the parking lot, Robinson allegedly showed the archdiocesan offices and stated his instructions were to leave no one breathing.

Brecht Mulvihill, the executive director of communications for the archdiocese, thanked the Shrewsbury Police Department for their immediate response. Mulvihill stated that the safety of those serving the Church is a priority and noted that the archdiocese is praying for an end to violence and hatred on social media.
