Duane Chapman, aka Dog the Bounty Hunter, has joined the manhunt for a suspect who allegedly threatened the life of President Donald Trump.

Chapman told the Mansfield News Journal he is joining in on the search for Shawn Richard Christy, 26, who allegedly said he wanted to “put a bullet” in Trump’s head.

Christy, a Pennsylvania native, has been on the run since June 19, when he allegedly threatened the lives of both the president and John M. Morganelli, the district attorney of Northampton County, Pennsylvania.

“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 allegedly wrote in the now deleted Facebook post.

A federal warrant for Christy’s arrest was issued following the post. He is also wanted for burglary, probation violation, and failure to appear in court for an aggravated assault case.

Chapman claims to have a “very hot lead” on the whereabouts of Christy.

“I have delivered messages to him,” he said.

“My goal is not to shoot him but get him to surrender.”

The manhunt for Christy has spanned across state lines. The FBI, Secret Service, and U.S. Marshals Service are all involved.

The search is now focused on Ohio, where Christy may have abandoned a stolen truck. Chapman will arrive in Mansfield, Ohio, on September 27.
