A former student of Christ Presbyterian Academy (CPA) in Nashville was arrested on suspicion of cyberstalking days after making a public threat toward Governor Bill Lee and his wife Maria Lee, according to the U.S. Attorney’s office for Middle Tennessee.
McKenzie McClure, also known as Kalvin McClure, was arrested by federal agents after they observed troubling social media activity and McClure left a concerning voicemail to CPA on March 24, 2024, that caused two schools to shut down the following day.
According to the criminal complaint filed against McClure on April 27 provided to The Tennessee Star by the Department of Justice, McClure posted to her X account on April 25, “Also Bill Lee knows if he makes one wrong move it’s Joever [sic] for him and my 4th grade teacher… i.e., his WIFE.”

The criminal complaint document also noted that McClure made her post “on the same day that Government [sic] Lee, whose wife worked at CPA prior to April 2024, visited CPA’s campus…”
McClure was arrested on April 29 and remains in federal custody.
The Star asked Governor Lee’s communications director via email to confirm whether his wife Maria Lee worked at CPA, whether Maria Lee taught McClure, and whether Governor Lee visited CPA’s campus in April of 2024.
According to a review of a Facebook page, which appears to be McClure’s, she identified herself as a “trans man.” She also goes by the name “Kalvin Amadeus Mikoledes.”
“11 months on testosterone and I feel amazing!” she posted to Facebook on April 4, 2020.
Before making that post, McClure posted that she graduated from college in 2017 with a bachelor’s degree in music education from Lee University, a private Christian university in Cleveland, Tennessee. At the time, she went by “McKenzie Stephens.”
She later posted that she married Jarrod McClure in October 2017 while she was working as a wedding photographer.
After McClure left her troubling voicemail for CPA in March 2024, Metro Nashville Police Department engaged and identified McClure but did not arrest her after MNPD determined the contents of the voicemail did not constitute an actual threat, The Star previously reported.
The criminal complaint also made note of several X posts McClure made about CPA, which included video of herself on school property talking about her time as a student.

CPA security cameras captured still images of McClure on CPA’s campus on February 25, 2024, about one month before she left her voicemail.
McClure’s voicemail was left for CPA days before the anniversary of the Covenant School shooting, when a former Covenant student who identified as transgender entered the school and killed six people before being killed by MNPD officers.
As of press time, the governor’s office has offered no comment on these developments.

Stop giving these crazy people testosterone……..please…….
Now, more than ever, we need to see the complete, un-redacted manifesto from the Covenant murders. This is the only way to fully understand the level of mental illness in this country, especially in the “trans” community.
A 13 year old girl could whip this “person’s” *ss.
This sick person should be under psychiatric care. Being that this happened in Nashville, SHE will probably get very low bail and be back on the street threatening people. Oh, and don’t forget to report HER to the TBI so SHE cannot buy a gun.
