An Akron man is facing charges for threats he made in a 21-minute long Facebook Live video. 

Raynard Clayton, 34, was taken into custody on Feb. 8. He is charged with transmitting in interstate commerce a threat to injure another person and also threatening a person with physical force with the intent to hinder, delay, or prevent communication to a law enforcement officer.  

According to the FBI, Clayton threatened to assault and kill "an individual known to law enforcement" in the Facebook Live video.
