Fort Myers, Florida - In a shocking display of disregard for the law, 68-year-old Alice Marie Pence was sentenced to 10 months in federal prison for threatening a United States district judge in the Northern District of Texas.

Pence, a resident of Port Charlotte, Florida, made a phone call from the Middle District of Florida to the chambers of a federal judge in Texas, leaving a voicemail that demanded the judge 'make the right decision' in a pending case. This brazen act of intimidation has now landed her in hot water, with a federal prison sentence hanging over her head.
