The Washington County District Attorney is looking to move a terroristic threats case against a local college student forward. Trevor McDonald, 23 of Chalfont, PA, faces felony charges of terroristic threats and criminal use of a communications device over alleged threats he made against Washington And Jefferson College on a social media app back in February. In a plea hearing, McDonald declined a probationary sentence of five years. That prompted the district attorney to ask for a jury trial and withdraw their plea deal. According to the criminal complaint, McDonald posted a question on YikYak, an anonymous social media app, asking “No cap, how many people you think I can kill if I shoot the joint up” and then was followed by a response saying, “I’m thinking like 30-50.” That prompted W&J to make in person attendance at classes optional. McDonald, who was suspended from W&J at the time, was approached by FBI agents in his Chalfont home. McDonald admitted to making the posts. McDonald is scheduled for trial on September 8. If convicted he could face a maximum penalty of 7 years in prison and a $15,000 fine.
