A 32-year-old man from Moreno Valley, Jesse William Wykel, has been charged with making threats against local public officials after he allegedly sent messages indicating intentions to kill them. Although the names of the victims were not released, titles were provided, including a Moreno Valley councilmember, the sheriff's captain, and the mayor of Murrieta. Wykel, who plead not guilty, was held with a significantly higher bail than typical for such offenses due to concerns about his potential danger to public safety. A mental health evaluation has been ordered.
Wykel stated he does not drink or do any drugs, and he is not currently taking any physiological medication, indicating a lack of substance influence on his behavior.
Wykel admitted sending the WeTip message using his phone, revealing a troubling attitude toward city officials and law enforcement.
