Police: Former caretaker detailed homicidal thoughts about group home residents in texts

A man has been arrested and charged with intimidation, a felony, after sending what police described as threatening messages detailing homicidal actions he envisioned against disabled people.

Ex-caretaker Kyle Rodriguez sent texts via Facebook Messenger to another former employee of the company, which works with disabled people, saying "I wanted to kill them all in the most brutal way I could think, but I walked away," police reported.

Rodriguez named people at the group home and detailed how he would kill them, from nailing a woman's nose shut to letting another woman scream while he bashed a pan into her throat to tying shoelaces around a man's neck and tying him to the table to "enjoy his struggle," the report continued. All the people he listed are people he had taken care of.

The message recipient told police Rodriguez was scary and unstable, afflicted with PTSD. 

The state requested bond be set at $2,500, that Rodriguez be subject to GPS monitoring and that he be required to stay 1,500 feet from his former employer and the message recipient. Rodriguez has no criminal history, according to court documents.

The maximum sentence for the felony is 10 years in prison and $50,000.
