A North Carolina sheriff's office is considering charging Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump with inciting a riot after a man protesting at one of his rallies was sucker-punched by one of Trump's supporters, according to a report from WRAL.
As a black protester was being escorted out of a rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina, last week, a Trump supporter reached over and punched him in the face.
John McGraw, 78, was arrested for assault by the Cumberland County Sheriff's Office. When McGraw told media that he would "kill" the protester, the office added another charge of communicating threats.
Now, Trump could reportedly get hit with a charge of his own.
It's unclear exactly what caused the office to reportedly consider the charges, but Trump has encouraged exactly what McGraw did several times before the Fayetteville event.
He told a crowd in Iowa that they should "knock the crap out of"anyone who tried to throw a tomato at him and that he would pay their legal bills if they did so. And at another event, he said he missed the good old days when you could "punch back."
Trump has said that he would have his people "look into" paying McGraw's legal fees. He also said that McGraw "obviously loves his country."
The sheriff's office did not immediately return a call from Patch seeking confirmation and additional information.
