Richard Golden, the New Jersey man who urged people in an extremist chat room to put a bullet in Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood’s head, appeared before a judge at the jail Tuesday afternoon. Golden, 38, of Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, was brought to Volusia County on Monday. Charged with second-degree felony written threats to kill or do bodily injury, Golden was ordered held on $100,000 bail. Dressed in an orange jumpsuit, Golden did not say a word as he stood before the judge and only nodded when County Judge Robert Sanders called out his name and read the charge. According to investigators from various agencies that included the South Brunswick Police Department, the FBI, the Seventh Judicial Circuit’s State Attorney’s Office, the Volusia County Sheriff’s Office, and the Central Florida Intelligence Exchange, Golden called on white supremacists and hate groups to murder Chitwood.
