Man charged with terrorist threats against Archdiocese of St. Louis

Jeremiah Robinson, 32, faces a felony charge for allegedly making terroristic threats against the headquarters of the Archdiocese of St. Louis. The St. Louis prosecuting attorney’s office charged Robinson, of Ste. Genevieve, Missouri, 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, Robinson reportedly stated he was two minutes away from the archdiocese and claimed God instructed him to kill everyone who enters the church. In a second video filmed in a parking lot, Robinson allegedly showed the archdiocesan offices on his phone 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 said the safety of those serving the Church is a priority and expressed hope for an end to the violence and hatred found on social media.
