I'm the guy you want to kill," Chitwood is seen saying in the video released by the Volusia Sheriff’s Office. Moulton, seemingly surprised, responded, "I sent you a sermon." Chitwood pressed further, explaining that a written death threat constitutes a felony in Florida. The video shows a tense exchange before Moulton is taken into custody.
