An 18-year-old man, Caleb Williams, was arrested on Tuesday during early voting after allegedly brandishing an 18-inch machete at voters outside the Neptune Beach Library polling station in Duval County, Florida. The Neptune Beach Police Department responded to the incident. Police say Williams, a supporter of Donald Trump, was part of a group of eight individuals—including seven juveniles and one adult—"carrying Trump flags" and aiming to "antagonize" Democratic supporters, specifically targeting two women aged 71 and 54 who were campaigning for Kamala Harris. The group gathered in the library's parking lot. Williams has been charged with felony aggravated assault.
