Jeffrey Stevens, 42 years old, of Fort Wayne, Ind., was sentenced in U.S. District Court to 15 months in prison on Wednesday after he pleaded guilty to threatening to kill Jews. After he is released, he will be supervised for two years.
Stevens used social media in November 2023 to “transmit a message to the Fort Wayne Police Department” which included “a threat to kill individuals of Jewish faith with the suggestion that there was nothing the local police could do about it,” the U.S. attorney’s office for the Northern District of Indiana stated.
Per the Feb. 12 complaint, someone at an IP addressed registered to Stevens also wrote to the CIA that “I am going to shoot every pro-Israel U.S. government official in the head, and there is nothing you can do about it because you are the pathetic CIA.”
He added that “I am going to make sure that every CIA member who is pro-Israel is eliminated. I am so confident that I will give you my phone number, and there is nothing you can do about it.”
