Jared Brown Sentenced

Jared Brown, 20, of Niagara County, NY, has been sentenced to serve 24 months in prison for threatening to kill then President-elect Donald Trump. This is the second time Brown has been sentenced for threatening a president, having previously served a 15-month prison sentence for threatening former-President Barack Obama.

According to Acting U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr., Brown made the threatening comments in a 911 call to the Lockport City Police Department on December 26, 2016. At the time of the call, Brown was already serving a three-year term of supervised release, which followed his prison sentence for the previous threat against Obama.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Scott S. Allen handled the case, which was investigated by the United States Secret Service, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Lewis Robinson, and the Lockport Police Department, under the direction of Chief Michael Niethe. The investigation led to Brown’s sentencing by U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. Vilardo for violating the terms and conditions of his supervised release.

Brown’s actions demonstrate a clear disregard for the law and the safety of public officials. Threats against the President of the United States are taken very seriously, and Brown’s sentence reflects the severity of his crimes. The fact that this is the second time Brown has been sentenced for such a crime raises concerns about his potential for future violence.

The sentencing of Jared Brown serves as a reminder that threats against public officials will not be tolerated. The cooperation between the United States Secret Service and local law enforcement agencies is crucial in preventing and investigating such crimes. The public can be assured that those who make threats against the President or other public officials will be held accountable for their actions.

In conclusion, the sentencing of Jared Brown to 24 months in prison for threatening President Trump is a significant step in maintaining public safety and upholding the law. The cooperation between law enforcement agencies and the severity of Brown’s sentence serve as a deterrent to those who would consider making similar threats. The public can be assured that such crimes will be taken seriously and that those responsible will be held accountable.
