FORT PIERCE, FL -- A known ISIS supporter was arrested Friday, not even a day after being released from prison, the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office said.
According to the sheriff's office, deputies and the FBI arrested 28-year-old Charlton Edward LaChase on Citrus Boulevard for making ISIS-related terrorist threats. Court records in 2018 show LaChase was convicted after sending text messages professing his support for ISIS and threatening to kill several people while committing acts of terrorism and mass murder, the sheriff's office said.

John Cannon has lived along Citrus Park Boulevard the past 35 years. The 64-year-old is married with four children and has a teacup Yorkie named Shelly.
Cannon’s family has a long history of military service, starting in World War II.
Upon hearing the news of the arrest a few houses away is scary.
“Anybody talking about blowing up at school killing people or whatever,” LaChase said. "There is just something wrong with this society for people to think that way.”
Authorities found LaChase at his home, where he lives with his mother due to his deafness and mental issues, and arrested him. He was booked into the St. Lucie County Jail, where deputies say he'll stay until he appears in federal court on Tuesday.
"The long-standing and strong partnership we have with the FBI, U.S. Attorney's Office and other federal partners helps us share important information, act quickly when these types of circumstances arise and ultimately keep our community safe," Sheriff Ken J. Mascara said.
