Footage filmed and produced on March 13 shows deputies arresting 38-year-old Richard Golden, who threatened to kill a member of the Volusia County Sheriff in New Jersey.

Golden was arrested following an anonymous online threat to kill Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood due to his stand against a neo-Nazi hate group.

Golden posted the threat in a 4chan chat on February 22 and was arrested at his mother's house in Monmouth Junction.

He now faces extradition to Volusia County to face felony charges.

The sheriff said in a statement: "I cannot wait to meet him when he gets off the plane, because one of the first faces he’s going to see welcoming him to the Volusia County Jail, the happiest place on earth, is going to be me."

Golden, charged with making a written threat to kill or cause injury, was identified through a joint investigation by the Central Florida Intelligence Exchange (CFIX), the FBI, and the South Brunswick Police Department.

Sheriff Chitwood thanked the law enforcement partners involved and announced new "Scumbag Eradication Team" T-shirts and "Volusia Strong" coffee mugs, with proceeds going to the Volusia Sheriff's Youth Foundation to educate youth about history and combat hate.
