A man in Northwest Miami-Dade, Kevin Prater, has been arrested after a series of threatening social media posts and ramming his truck into police cruisers. The videos he posted online showed him making menacing messages towards law enforcement officers, including one where he warned the Florida Department of Corrections and all police departments. These threats led to an encounter with police on Nov. 20, where Prater tried to evade officers near his home.
During the incident, Prater endangered the lives of officers by attempting to ram his way out of the situation. It was later revealed that Prater was wanted in connection to various crimes, such as extortion, aggravated stalking, and written threats to kill a law enforcement officer. Additionally, he is accused of making alarming threats against his own family members, indicating potential harm towards them.
Prater’s criminal history has now expanded with the new charges he is facing, including aggravated stalking and written threats to kill or cause bodily harm. In the videos he shared on social media, Prater claimed that officers and probation officers were harassing his family, warning them of consequences if they continued without a warrant. His behavior and actions have raised serious concerns among law enforcement and the community.
It is essential to address and take seriously any threats made towards law enforcement officers and individuals, as they pose a significant risk to public safety. The case of Kevin Prater serves as a reminder of the importance of monitoring and addressing online threats and ensuring the safety of both officers and the community. Authorities are continuing to investigate the matter and take appropriate actions to prevent any further incidents or harm caused by such threatening behavior.
