Alaska man arrested for threatening to kill 6 Supreme Court justices
< < Go Back
A man living in Alaska has been arrested and charged for allegedly sending hundreds of hateful and threatening messages to six justices of the U.S. Supreme Court and their families.
A federal grand jury indicted 76-year-old Panos Anastasiou of Anchorage on Wednesday of threatening to injure and kill six justices, as well as some of their family members.
Anastasiou was charged with nine counts of making threats against a federal judge as well as 13 counts of making threats in interstate commerce, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Alaska.
Since the initial leaking of a draft of the Hobbs decision in May 2022, there have been several threats made against conservative members of the high court, prompting increased security.
Earlier this year, for example, 43-year-old Neal Brij Sidhwaney of Florida was sentenced to 14 months in prison for threatening Chief Justice John Roberts via a phone call in July 2023.
A man was arrested in 2022 for plotting to kill Justice Brett Kavanaugh at his home in Maryland in response to the leak of a draft opinion in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
