Tyler Prigmore federal charges after McCloud standoff and threats against agents

Tyler Prigmore federal charges tied to threats against federal agents

A McCloud man is facing serious criminal counts after prosecutors filed Tyler Prigmore federal charges connected to threats and gunfire directed at federal officers.

According to federal court filings, 30-year-old Tyler Prigmore allegedly posted multiple online threats claiming he would kill ICE agents if they approached his home. Authorities say those threats escalated into a standoff in which shots were fired toward responding officers.

Federal assault statutes covering violence against officers are outlined under 18 U.S. Code § 111, which governs assault, resistance, or interference with federal officials.

Gunfire during McCloud standoff

Investigators say the confrontation lasted several hours before Prigmore was taken into custody. Court documents indicate he discharged multiple rounds while agents attempted to execute their duties.

The U.S. Department of Justice has consistently stated that threats against federal law enforcement are prosecuted aggressively, particularly when firearms are involved.

No serious injuries to agents were reported, but the incident highlights the increasing danger tied to online threats that evolve into real-world violence.

Possible prison time under federal law

If convicted, Tyler Prigmore federal charges could carry significant penalties. Federal weapons violations and assault on federal officers can bring decades in prison under sentencing guidelines administered by the Federal Bureau of Prisons.

Prosecutors are expected to rely on digital evidence, recorded statements, and forensic findings from the standoff as the case moves through federal court.

Authorities emphasize that threats against federal agents are treated as priority crimes under federal law.
