Las Vegas Man Indicted After Posting TikTok Threat to Bomb President Trump

A Las Vegas security guard has been indicted on a felony bomb threat charge after allegedly posting a TikTok video in which he vowed to kill President Donald Trump with a "suicide bomb," Law & Crime reports.

Nathaniel Smith was indicted last month on one felony count of making a bomb threat. Online court records show he is scheduled to stand trial in late November, with a trial readiness hearing set for Oct. 27.

"I swear, I'm not even joking"

Grand jury transcripts obtained by Las Vegas CBS affiliate KLAS detail the alleged threats Smith made in the video. "Look y'all, I'll do it if y'all can get me out," Smith allegedly said, with a text overlay on screen reading, "I'll take him out."

Smith went further, according to prosecutors. "If y'all can put some money together, if y'all can get me out, I'll do it, on my mama," he allegedly said. "I swear, I'm not even joking."

In a separate portion of the video, Smith allegedly added: "If you get my family out of America, I'll suicide bomb." He used the hashtags "#Trump," "#FightBack," and "#FreeWorld" in the post.

The clip spread widely across X, TikTok, and Instagram after conservative accounts shared it. A tip to law enforcement on March 12 prompted investigators to act.

Guard Initially "Took Ownership" of the Post

Bryson Redd, an officer with the Las Vegas Metro Police Counterterrorism Section of the Southern Nevada Counterterrorism Centre, testified at Smith's grand jury hearing. Redd described interviewing Smith in March about the video.

"Initially … he was unsure of what we were going to discuss, but as the conversation continued, he was like, 'Oh, this is reference my post online that I've now since taken down,'" Redd recounted, according to the transcripts. Smith claimed the video was a joke, Redd testified, and showed no remorse when asked.

"He explained it as if he was just joking, as if it was just a joke that he had posted online," Redd said. Asked whether Smith expressed any remorse, Redd reportedly answered: "No."

Fired from Security Firm

Smith was dismissed from his position at St. Moritz Security Services following the incident. The company's Chief Legal Officer, Gary Bradley, issued a statement to KLAS distancing the firm from the alleged conduct.

"St. Moritz Security Services, Inc. does not condone, and our policies strictly prohibit threats against any public official, including threats against President Trump," Bradley said. "Mr. Smith has not been employed by St. Moritz since 17 January 2026. St. Moritz will fully cooperate with any local or federal investigators in this matter."

Bradley added that the company could not comment further due to the pending investigation.
