The man accused of making threats of a Pulse nightclub-style attack against the LGBT community in Wilton Manors was hospitalized Tuesday following his arrest over the weekend, according to a new report.

Craig Jungwirth, 50, was hospitalized after complaining of chest pain, federal court sources told WESH.

Jungwirth, who was arrested Saturday in an unrelated case and later charged with with a federal crime for the threats, had been scheduled to appear in court Tuesday.

Jungwirth allegedly posted on social media threatening to launch a Pulse nightclub-type attack this past weekend.

"It's time to clean up Wilton Manors from all you AIDS-infested losers," Jungwirth allegedly wrote in one Facebook post.

"If you losers thought the Pulse Nightclub shooting was bad, wait 'til you see what I'm planning for Labor Day," he allegedly wrote in another.

According to a criminal complaint, Jungwirth was charged with making threatening communications. He denied posting the threats when he was questioned by investigators, the complaint said.
