April 2 (UPI) -- A Florida man who threatened to kill a U.S. Supreme Court judge was sentenced on Tuesday to more than a year in jail.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for Florida's Middle District said U.S. District Judge Marcia Morales Howard had sentenced Neal Brij Sidhwaney, of Fernandina Beach, to 14 months in federal prison "for transmitting an interstate threat to kill," according to the Justice Department.
Court documents outline that Sidhwaney had made a telephone call from Florida to a Supreme Court office in Washington, D.C., on July 31, 2023. He was arrested Aug. 18 and entered a guilty plea almost four months ago on Dec. 15.
Sidhwaney, 43, who "left an expletive-laden, threatening voicemail message," reportedly had identified himself after threatening to kill one of the Supreme Court justices.
