Social Media Threats Lead to Arrest | Amarillo News

A 22-year-old man, Samuel Chavez, faces federal charges for cross-state online threats after doxxing five people in Amarillo — exposing their names, addresses, photos, and family details on Instagram. His posts included videos of him handling firearms alongside the victims’ info, escalating when he messaged threats directly and was later spotted with a gun outside one victim’s home. Already under a protective order after allegedly breaking into a home and assaulting someone, Chavez was arrested early Saturday. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison — proving that online threats now carry serious legal consequences across state lines.
