GoKawiilAnthropic's Claude flags Florida woman's threat, leads to felony arrest
A Bonita Springs, Florida woman was arrested on a felony charge after Anthropic's human review team flagged a Claude chatbot conversation in which she allegedly threatened to 'shoot up' the Lee County Sheriff's Office and later referenced acquiring a gun. Anthropic reported the exchange to law enforcement, which led to her arrest at home without incident, with court records showing a Sept. 30 charge under Florida's statute covering written threats of mass shootings or terrorism.
