Texas man who threatened Trump from prison gets 37 months
June 25, 2019
LAKE CHARLES, La. (AP) — A Texas man who threatened President Donald Trump from a Louisiana prison has been sentenced to just over three years in federal prison.
Buddy Keith Myers, 24, of Gibbs, Texas, was sentenced Monday for threatening the president, prosecutors said Tuesday. He’d faced up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Myers pleaded guilty Aug. 28.
A statement filed with his plea says he told investigators the threats were serious. He wrote letters in 2018, threatening Trump with death or injury. He drafted most on inmate request forms, giving some to officials at Allen Correctional Center and mailing at least one to the Louisiana Department of Public Safety and Corrections, according to the statement.
