Crosby’s arrest is a result of an investigation into a threatening social media comment directed toward Senator Webb, troopers said.

Troopers found that Crosby made the threatening comment in response to a WBNG story about Juneteenth celebrations in Cortland, where Senator Webb was a featured speaker, and was displayed as the cover image.

During the investigation, it was learned that Crosby was a convicted felon, and during his arrest, troopers found that he had several guns despite being prohibited from owning them.

Investigators found a rifle, a large capacity ammunition feeding device, and a firearm suppressor, all of which are prohibited under New York State law.

Crosby was arrested and processed on the charges before he was taken to the Broome County Jail.
