North Bloomfield man pleads guilty to federal charges in threats case

Charles Bronson Ingram, 47, of North Bloomfield, pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court in Cleveland to both federal charges he faced for posting threatening remarks about U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and others on YouTube.

The two charges Ingram pleaded guilty to are influencing and intimidating a federal official by threat, and interstate threatening communications.

U.S. District Court Judge Charles Esque Fleming accepted Ingram’s plea and set sentencing for 1p.m. July 7 in Cleveland federal court.

U.S. District Court Magistrate Carmen Henderson on Feb. 26 ordered Ingram held in detention following a hearing in the federal courthouse in Youngstown.

At that hearing, FBI agent David Brown testified that Ingram admitted to the agent to posting numerous messages on YouTube that threatened ICE agents and others in January. At the end of the hearing, Henderson bound over the case to a federal grand jury.

Court documents state that on Feb. 4, agents conducted a search warrant at Ingram’s home, finding eight firearms and a crossbow. Brown testified at Ingram’s hearing that when he interviewed Ingram, Ingram admitted to writing the posts. When Brown asked Ingram if he “stood by the posts,” Ingram said “1,000 percent,” Brown said.

Brown stated in court documents that he determined that Ingram had no criminal record and had lived in North Bloomfield about 15 years.

Ingram’s indictment states that his crimes took place Dec. 23, 2025, through about Jan. 18, 2026, in the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division.

The indictment alleges that Ingram threatened to assault and murder federal law enforcement officers, namely ICE agents, with intent to impede, intimidate and interfere with them while they were engaged in the performance of their official duties.

An affidavit Brown filed in Ingram’s case states that Brown was able to trace messages to Ingram through Ingram’s Google account. Brown was able to view Ingram’s YouTube profile picture, and it showed what Brown said appeared to be a bloody image of President Donald Trump.
