Atty. J. Gerald Ingram, counsel for 18-year-old Justin Olsen, of Oakridge Dr., who has been in jail since August on a charge of theatening a federal law enforcement officer, will enter a plea of guilty during a hearing on the matter set for Mon., Dec. 23 in the U.S. District Court of Judge Solomon Oliver Jr.
      Olsen was arrested in early August and was indicted by a grand jury, charging him with threatening federal law enforcement on a social media website in which he put up numerous provocative and offensive posts.
      Olsen has been in jail since Aug. 7, after he admitted to the FBI that he was behind postings under the username “ArmyOfChrist” on the iFunny social media website, according to court filings.
      In an online forum, he praised the Oklahoma City bombing, mass shootings and attacks on Planned Parenthood, the FBI said. When the deadly siege in Waco, Tex., came up, he allegedly offered one lesson: “Shoot every federal agent on sight.”
      “Don’t comply with gun laws, stock up on stuff they could ban,” he allegedly wrote in another post. “In fact, go out of your way to break these laws.”
      Olsen was arrested after the FBI began tracking his posts last February.
      Olsen graduated from Boardman High School last spring, where he was a member of the tennis team and had no discipline issues.
      He was arrested in the front yard of his father’s residence, “without incident, where he waived his Miranda rights and agreed to talk to law enforcement officers,” Atty. Ingram said, adding Olsen “did not flee, resist or threaten officers, and was otherwise polite and courteous.”
      Police rushed to arrest Olsen just three days after mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas with a Boardman Court prosecutor citing the attacks as a justification for an ‘urgent arrest.’
