An 18-year-old Florida man, Caleb Williams, was arrested on Tuesday after wielding an 18-inch machete outside the Neptune Beach Library polling station during early voting in Duval County. Williams was part of a group of eight teenagers—seven juveniles and one adult—carrying Trump flags and accused of intimidating Democratic supporters, specifically those supporting Vice President Kamala Harris. The group allegedly sought to antagonize voters who did not share their political views, with Williams reportedly brandishing the machete at two women in their 70s and 50s. Police responded to reports of voter intimidation and charged Williams with felony aggravated assault.
