A Tyonek parent was arrested on Tuesday on charges of “Terroristic Threatening,” after posting messages on Facebook trooper dispatch reports.

Tyonek villagers patrolled the streets and the school in Tyonek went on lock-down after 26-year-old Tyonek resident, Justin Trenton, posted messages on Facebook.

The posts made on Facebook were in response to unidentified people in the community attempting to give or sell his underage daughter drugs. In posts, Trenton told the individuals to “Get the hell out of the village.” He also posted, “I will personally will be going around looking to soak myself in your blood!!!” It was also alleged that Trenton wrote, ““I got nothing going for me so don’t think I won’t come at you for the f*****g  FINISH!”

Trenton made these Facebook posts on Monday afternoon, and they were immediately reported to the Soldotna Public Safety Communication Center. Weather conditions in Cook Inlet barred troopers from responding to the community until the next day.

Once in the community on Tuesday, troopers immediately arrested Trenton, charged him with Terroristic Threatening II and transported him to the Wildwood Pretrial Facility in Kenai with no bail set.

Those posts have now been deleted from his Facebook account.

Many in the community, as well as out, question the validity of the charges stemming from the Facebook posts, but, Trenton admitted to troopers that he made the posts, but also added that he had no intention to harm anyone. He also stated that he should not have worded his posts in the manner that he did. He said the postings were made to wake up the community to the “perverts” preying on the village’s children.

Tyonek is a small Athabaskan community of just under 200 residents on the western shores of Cook Inlet.
