Michigan man pleads to tweeting threats to kill judge, turn wife into meat pasties

[RandySF]

BAY CITY, MI — A Clare County man has pleaded guilty in federal court to threatening to kill a sitting judge and grind his wife into meat pasties.

Jeremy S. Adams, 50, on Monday, March 20, appeared before U.S. District Magistrate Judge Curtis Ivy Jr. and pleaded guilty to using the internet to communicate an interstate threat to kill or injure. The charge is punishable by up to five years in prison followed by up to three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine.

In pleading, Adams admitted that on May 5, he posted threats against his neighbor, his wife, and their children on Twitter and Reddit. Then, on June 14, Adams posted on Twitter threats to kill 55th Circuit Court Judge Roy G. Mienk and his wife. Michigan’s 55th Circuit Court covers Clare and Gladwin counties.

Adams’ sentencing guidelines are yet to be calculated. Per the plea agreement, prosecutors are recommending Adams’ eventual sentence not exceed the bottom of the guidelines’ range.

According to an affidavit contained in court files, the FBI on May 5, learned a Twitter user with the handle “RHnegHumanoid” was making threats online. The Twitter account bore the screenname “J Adams” next to its handle and was cross-linked to a Reddit account titled “rhnegativehumanoid.”

2. There are no words. . .

3. Idiot

[gratuitous]

4. Threatening a judge isn't like threatening your neighbor or your ex

Law enforcement doesn't bend itself into a pretzel trying to figure out if someone's threatening a judge, they just go after the person. Meanwhile, I'm guessing that Adams' neighbor, his wife and their children are really glad to see him face the music for his actions.

One of my great grandfathers worked in the copper mines here for awhile

20. That is oddly specific. Maybe he's a big fan of the musical Sweeney Todd?

6. A local woman barbequed her lover and fed him to her neighbors

There must be something in the water here in Michigan which cause people to turn others into food

8. It's right next door to Wisconsin, home of Ed Gein and Jeffrey Dahmer.

10. Maybe it's the long winters

[canuckledragger]

13. There's a saying coming from the frontier days...

"If your wife hasn't tried to kill you by mid-winter, she never really loved you..."

[Kaleva]

15. Lol

19. There was a kid in Colorado who got mad at an older kid.

He somehow got a rancher to kill this kid's parents and then he ground them up and put them in a pot of chili that he made. He even got the kid to eat some before revealing his "special ingredient".

22. Later, it was found out that the two kids were half brothers

9. Glad they put him away.

It’s my neighborhood.

12. What the hell?

"Per the plea agreement, prosecutors are recommending Adams’ eventual sentence not exceed the bottom of the guidelines’ range."

They simply don't take these threats seriously, this guy is going to get almost no time.

17. Did he just forget to put in an "if" clause? So how is this radio host not being grilled today?

Right-wing broadcaster Pete Santilli recently argued that the U.S. military should execute former President Barack Obama, former Attorney General Eric Holder, and former National Security Advisor Susan Rice if former President Donald Trump is arrested.
