One of the FBI's most wanted fugitives is finally in custody after leading officials on a months-long manhunt.

Shawn Christy, who not only issued death threats against President Donald Trump, but has been terrorizing Sarah Palin and her family for years, was caught and arrested Friday afternoon in Mifflin Township Ohio by a task force.

26-year-old Christy has been on the run since June when he failed to show up to a court hearing in an assault case. The FBI, U.S. Marshalls and the Secret Service joined the hunt shortly after, when Christy promised to "put a bullet" in Trump's head and then use "lethal force" against any law enforcement officer who got in his way.

He also recently targeted "Teen Mom OG" star Bristol Palin's ex-husband, Dakota Meyer, during a home invasion. Luckily, Meyer was not home at the time, but Christy stole a Jeep from the garage and continued fleeing from authorities.

Christy has a long history of stalking and terrorizing the Palin family, causing Sarah and her daughters to get multiple protective orders against the deranged man.
