Man charged with threats to murder FBI agents

EYEWITNESS NEWS (WBRE/WYOU) — A Danville man is facing charges after he allegedly threatened to murder agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced that Thomas Green, 33, of Danville, Montour County, was indicted Wednesday, April 10, by a grand jury on charges of influencing federal officials by threat and interstate communications with a threat.

According to U.S. Attorney Gerard M. Karam, the indictment alleges that for years Green called multiple FBI field offices across the country to express his frustrations that the FBI was not investigating the alleged criminal conduct reported by Green.

Karam says the indictment also alleges that beginning on or around August 18, 2022, Green started calling numerous FBI field offices across the country and threatening to assault and murder FBI agents if they did not investigate the alleged criminal conduct reported by Green.

According to Karam the indictment also alleges that Green called the FBI field office in Miami, Florida, and told personnel that he knew details about the murder of two Miami FBI agents and that “can happen again” if FBI personnel did not “act” how Green wanted them to.

Karam added that FBI Special Agents Laura Schwartzenberger and Daniel Alfin, who were members of FBI Miami, were killed while executing a search warrant in 2021.

The maximum penalty under federal law for these offenses is ten years in prison, a term of supervised release, and a fine.
