Andrew Majors, Threats, Indiana 2022

A South Bend man was sentenced to 24 months in prison for making threats against the Juvenile Justice Center in South Bend, Indiana.

Andrew Majors, 46 years old, of South Bend, Indiana, was sentenced by United States District Court Judge Damon R. Leichty after pleading guilty to two counts of making a threat through interstate communications, announced United States Attorney Clifford D. Johnson.

Majors was sentenced to 24 months in prison followed by 2 years of supervised release.

According to documents in the case, in June 2022 Majors called the Juvenile Justice Center in South Bend and reported that bombs were around the building. Several hours later, he called again to say that he was going to kill a person at the facility. Ultimately, no bombs were discovered and no one was injured.

This case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation with assistance from the South Bend Police Department. The case was prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorney Jerome W. McKeever.

The investigation and prosecution of this case are a reminder of the importance of reporting threats to law enforcement, and the consequences of making false threats. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and the South Bend Police Department worked together to investigate this case and bring the defendant to justice.

Majors’ sentence serves as a warning to those who would make similar threats, and we hope it brings some measure of comfort to the community that the perpetrator will be held accountable for their actions.
