A 32-year-old Maine man has been arrested after he sent multiple death threats to a Palm Coast resident in 2022 through the Xbox game system.
Flagler County Sheriff's Office detectives began investigating the threats in November 2022, when the Palm Coast resident reported the threats. The victim told detectives that the suspect had threatened to kill them, their family and burn down their house, according to a FCSO press release.
The suspect sent threats to the victim twice, in July and November of 2022, under different gamertags after the victim had blocked the suspect. The victim told detectives that he only knew the suspect through Xbox and Snapchat.
Detectives identified the suspect in January 2025 as James Maynard of Pittsfield, Maine. After receiving an arrest warrant, FCSO detectives traveled to Maine and interviewed and arrested Maynard with the help of local law enforcement, the press release said. Maynard is being held at the local county jail and will later be extradited to Flagler County.
Maynard is facing a felony charge of written or electronic threats to kill, the press release said, and additional charges may be pending. Anyone with further information on this case is encouraged to contact the FCSO non-emergency line at 386-313-4911, reference case no. 2022-00097956.
