Tulsa man charged after online threats to ‘gun down’ federal agents

TULSA, OK – A 32-year-old Tulsa resident, Logan Murfin, has been charged with ten federal counts after allegedly posting violent threats online calling for federal agents to be “gunned down, shot and executed,” according to a statement from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Federal officials said Murfin’s arrest followed an investigation into a series of public posts made on social media platforms in which he allegedly encouraged violence against law enforcement personnel. ICE confirmed the charges in a public reminder that threatening to assault, murder, or interfere with a federal agent constitutes a felony offense under U.S. law.

Court documents outline multiple counts related to threats against federal officers, use of interstate communications to issue violent threats, and incitement of violence against government employees. Murfin was taken into federal custody and appeared before a magistrate judge in the Northern District of Oklahoma for an initial hearing.

The agency’s statement, shared through its official account, included a pointed message aimed at deterring similar behavior, writing, “Welcome to the find out stage, Logan.” Legal analysts note that the case underscores federal authorities’ continued focus on online threats targeting government officials.

If convicted on all counts, Murfin could face significant prison time under federal sentencing guidelines. His defense attorney has not yet issued a public statement.
