Shawn Christy is scheduled for sentencing at 2:30 p.m. April 22 by Judge Robert D. Mariani in United States Federal Court, Middle District, Scranton.

On Nov. 27, 2019, jurors found Christy, 27, McAdoo, guilty on all counts in his federal trial stemming from a 95-day manhunt in summer 2018. The 11 charges included threats against the president, threatening communications, interstate transportation of a stolen vehicle, interstate transport of a stolen firearm, possessing a firearm while facing a felony charge, and being a fugitive in possession of a firearm. Jurors also found Christy guilty of a 12th charge — being a known felon in possession of a firearm.

Mariani had that charge tried separately because it would have required telling the jury that Christy had previously been convicted of a felony.

Christy represented himself during the trial.

Since the guilty verdict, Christy has filed 30 motions, including submitting various documents and requesting documents and transcripts. He has also filed several requests for medical treatment, including being tested for Lyme disease and getting an MRI on a knee. He’s filed separate grievances claiming that he’s been denied dental floss and treatment for acne.

During Christy’s five-day federal trial, prosecutors presented more than 20 witnesses. The majority of the witnesses were local, state and federal law enforcement officials who participated in the manhunt for Christy which spanned six states and Canada. Christy was captured Sept. 21 in Ohio, shortly after abandoning a vehicle which had been stolen in Hazleton.

During the trial, prosecutors presented surveillance videos from two businesses in Luzerne County showing Christy stealing vehicles. Another video presented by the prosecution showed Christy inside the home of Medal of Honor Recipient Dakota Meyer in Kentucky.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Francis Sempa called Christy a “one-man crime wave” who stole numerous vehicles and made multiple online threats which federal agents took seriously. During his closing argument, Sempa played the jury a recording taken in a Northeast Ohio Correctional Center which captured Christy bragging about several of the break-ins and vehicle thefts which occurred throughout the manhunt.

Christy claimed that he fled law enforcement because he felt he was a victim of police corruption in Schuylkill County. The manhunt began May 20, 2018, after Christy failed to show up for his trial on a 2017 assault on the then-mayor of McAdoo.

A few weeks after going on the lam, Christy posted on his Facebook that he would use “full lethal force” against any officer who attempted to arrest him, and posted that he would put a bullet in the head of President Donald Trump and Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli.
