Three people have been arrested after allegedly making online threats against the Volusia County Sheriff over comments he made against a neo-Nazi hate group.
Earlier this year, Volusia County Sheriff Mike Chitwood addressed a spike in antisemitic fliers and messages on literature and banners, including at the Daytona International Speedway during races.
Tyler Meyer, second from left, is accused of threatening the sheriff.

After the news conference, police began investigating anonymous online threats to kill the sheriff, the agency said.
On Thursday, Cristhian Zapata, 23, was arrested in Connecticut for threats made on 4chan against the sheriff, according to a release.
Meyer was taken into custody in San Diego and is to be extradited to Volusia County, according to the release. »
