A southwestern Pennsylvania man has been jailed on charges he posted Facebook comments encouraging people to kill police the same day two New York City officers were allegedly slain by a Maryland man.
Online court records don't list an attorney for 29-year-old Steven Drake Jr., of Midway. He faces a preliminary hearing Jan. 6 on charges including terroristic threats and disorderly conduct.
The Observer-Reporter says Drake was arrested Wednesday by police in McDonald, who were alerted to the Dec. 20 posts by police in a nearby community.
Among the comments Drake allegedly posted were, "The police brought this on themselves! I say kill them all! Enough is enough."
Police say Drake acknowledged making the posts which also referenced the recent police killings of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and Eric Garner in New York City.
