The case against a West Virginia library worker charged earlier this year after allegedly posting a threat on social media pertaining to President Donald Trump has reportedly been dismissed.
The prosecuting attorney in Jackson County lodged a motion to dismiss without prejudice on April 16, WOWK reported, noting that the filing indicates that the individual, Morgan Morrow, had not been appropriately Mirandized during interrogation.
“The case has been dismissed. We believe Miss Morrow never should have been charged at all, and we’re glad this is over,” the woman’s defense attorney, Mark Atkinson, noted, according to the outlet.

In a January post on X, Libs of TikTok shared the video that featured the sentence about a “sn!per” overlaid on the video.
