Sunrise man threatens mother of Parkland activist David Hogg

A 78-year-old Sunrise man is in jail accused of mailing a threatening letter to the mother of Parkland massacre survivor and gun control activist David Hogg.

And it was the stamp used to mail the letter that did Warren Bond in, court records show.

The widower was arrested Thursday by the U.S. Marshals Service. On Friday night he remained locked up in the Broward Main Jail.

The letter, addressed to Rebecca Boldrick, arrived in the mail on the late afternoon of June 25. It had no return address and “contained a single sentence in large, bold, typed letters,” according to a court document.

“Keep F------ with the NRA and you will be DOA,” it said.

In person, Bond told investigators: “If I see her face to face, I would tell her the same thing.”

“At no point during the interview did Bond express any remorse or concern for how the letter was perceived by the recipient,” federal prosecutors wrote in court filings.

He also admitted to sending another letter, a lessthreatening one, to the Democratic Party of Broward

County.

Bond's privately hired Miami lawyer, Frank

Prieto, declined to comment Friday, saying he was out of state and had not yet spoken with his client.

Neither Hogg nor his mother could be reached for comment Friday night.

Bond has been a widower since December 2017 when his 74-year-old wife, Lynda died, records show. He has lived in Ohio and Alabama and was a licensed real estate agent from 1992 until March 31, 2018.

Without a lot to go on, investigators turned to postal inspectors who used the serial number on the stamp to figure out where and when it was bought.

It was bought May 2 at a special kiosk at the Weston post office, records show. Investigators next gathered surveillance video from the post office that showed Bond buying the stamp with a credit card in his name.

When investigators visited Bond at his home on Nov. 6, he said he didn't remember mailing any letter. He eventually made his admission.

“I don't agree with all the people in that school,” the Bond registered Republican said of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High in Parkland.

Ten days later on Nov. 16, Broward sheriff's deputies went to Bond's home and confiscated the 9 mm Smith & Wesson handgun he had said he owned.

Hogg was a senior at Stoneman Douglas when the Valentine's Day massacre happened. Seventeen students and staff were shot and killed and another 17 were wounded.

Hogg immediately emerged as one of the most outspoken students driving the #NeverAgain movement and helping organize the massive student-led March for Our Lives rally in Washington, D.C. He became a fierce advocate for gun control and repeatedly took on the National Rifle Association in pointed tweets and speeches. He also became poster boy for the student activist critics most loved to hate, receiving numerous threats of harm and death.

Also in June, Hogg's family was the target of a “swatting” prank. Somebody called 911 falsely claiming to be armed and hurting people inside the family's Parkland house. The Broward Sheriff's Office SWAT team responded to find no one home.
