Alabama man gets prison time for threats to Georgia officials over Trump case
An Alabama resident faces jail-time for making threatening calls to Atlanta law officials last summer. The threats were connected to the investigation of former president Trumpʼs election case
A Huntsville-based man Arthur Ray Hanson II got a two-year prison term for making threatening phone-calls to Georgia officials (his messages included offensive language and hate-speech)
The threats targeted Fani Willis‚ the Fulton County District Attorney and Pat Labat‚ the countyʼs Sheriff; both got voice-mails with bad-language about 15 months ago. The messages came right before the high-profile case against ex-president Trump and others in Georgia
The suspect made these calls because he didnt like the investigation into Trumpʼs actions after the 2020 election: this probe led to charges against Trump and 18 other people. The case focuses on attempts to change election results in Georgia‚ and Hansonʼs threats were aimed at the key officials handling it
