A former midshipman was arrested by authorities after allegedly sending an online threat through social media involving the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland.

Jackson Fleming, 23, of Chesterton, Indiana, is charged with one count of transmitting a threat in interstate communication, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Indiana.

Fleming was arrested Friday on suspicion of sending an online threat concerning the Naval Academy the day prior through a social media application, officials said. He was officially charged Sunday.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
