March federal complaint led to deadly FBI interaction with man threatening President Biden

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (KUTV) — A deep dive into the background of 75-year-old Craig Deleeuw Robertson who threatened President Joe Biden revealed a complaint in March led to the deadly FBI interaction in Utah Wednesday.

His LinkedIn profile indicates he worked as a structural steel and welding inspector but had retired. He owned a business called Craig’s Custom Woods LLC, which he operated from his Provo home.

Utah Court records reveal he entered a no-contest plea to disorderly conduct in 1997 in Utah County and paid a $100 fine. There is no narrative of what he did available online. He also has several Utah State tax liens. However, the federal complaint filed back in March, which had been under seal until Wednesday, paints a chilling picture that ultimately led to Wednesday’s deadly developments.

The complaint that sealed and until today, reveals that the feds charged him with interstate threats, threatening to retaliate against federal agents, and most recently, threats against President Joe Biden.

On March 19, the Federal Bureau of Investigation received a tip from a social media company about a user named @winston4eagles posting a threat on its platform to kill New York County District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who at the time was overseeing a criminal investigation into former President Donald Trump.

The complaint shows the actual post, which says:

"Heading to New York to fulfill my dream of eradicating [sic] another of George Soros's two-bit political hacks DAs.

I’ll be waiting in the courthouse parking garage with my suppressed Smith & Wesson M&P 9mm to smoke a radical fool prosecutor that should never have been elected. I want to stand over Bragg and put a nice hole in his forehead with my 9mm and watch him twitch as a drop of blood oozes from the hole as his life ebbs away to hell!!"

It concludes with Robertson writing in all capital letters, ending with a profanity: BYE, BYE, TO ANOTHER CORRUPT BA***RD!!!

The user profile shows a picture of weapons, and the bio attached to it says, “74, Air Force Vietnam vet, Retired welding inspector, gunsmith, and woodworker. NRA life Member, 2A Advocate, and owner of many AR rifles + many other rifles, shotguns, and handguns.”

The bio ends with: “As Patrick Henry said, so shall I: “GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH.”

The complaint reveals the address associated with the username led back to Robertson’s home in Provo.

On March 19, two FBI agents surveilled him, and he went to a church.

After several hours, the complaint says, the agents spoke with him, and he admitted that his username was @winston4eagles.

Then the document says that Robertson told the agents, “I said it was a dream!,” and then stated, “We’re done here!” and “Don’t return without a warrant!”

The complaint contains visual evidence of his posts going back several years, which includes his ability to conduct sniper tactics while dressed in a Ghillie Suit with a long rifle, which is camouflage clothing that soldiers use to avoid detection and resembles the environment they’re in.

Robertson had three children with Carol Ann Robertson. They married in the Salt Lake Temple in February 1971 but divorced in 1986. His ex-wife passed away in 2019.
