West Virginia librarian Morgan Morrow has been released after prosecutors dismissed her terroristic threat charge against President Donald Trump without prejudice. The decision followed a court ruling that law enforcement failed to administer Miranda rights during her interrogation, according to Jackson County Sheriff’s Department records.
Morrow was arrested on January 25 following social media posts interpreted as incitement to assassinate Trump, including a caption referencing a “terminally ill sniper” targeting the president. Prosecutors stated she had not been properly informed of her legal rights before making statements that led to the charge.
The dismissal allows Morrow to remain free while preserving the option for future prosecution under West Virginia’s felony laws, which have no statute of limitations. Meanwhile, another case involving alleged Trump assassination attempts has intensified scrutiny: Cole Allen, a 31-year-old teacher from Torrance, California, faces charges for an attempted assassination and firearm-related offenses after targeting Trump during the 2024 campaign cycle.
This incident follows multiple incidents where individuals have sought to harm Trump, including a July 2024 attack in Pennsylvania by Thomas Crooks, who fired shots at the president during a campaign rally.
