A 51-year-old Cape Coral man arrested Saturday night over alleged TikTok threats against a Martin County student and others was also arrested for resisting arrest, booking records show. Michael G. Davis was released from the Lee County Jail on Sunday after posting a $100,000 bond in the case, which remains under investigation.
The Martin County Sheriff’s Office said the videos threatened a student, a school, community members and law enforcement officers. A concerned resident alerted the agency late Friday about the first video. Investigators reviewed the threats, identified Davis as the person who posted them and tracked him to Cape Coral.
The sheriff’s office Criminal Investigations Division and Warrants Unit worked with the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force and Cape Coral police to arrest Davis at his home. He initially refused to come outside but was ultimately taken into custody on a Martin County warrant carrying a $100,000 bond, according to the sheriff’s office.
The resisting-arrest allegation appears in booking records in addition to the arrest over the alleged threats. Investigators have not established a motive, and the sheriff’s office said that part of the case remains under investigation.
Martin County schools are also to receive more deputies following the alleged threats. Davis’ release Sunday came after his Saturday night arrest, with the bond posted at the amount specified in the Martin County warrant.
