Colorado Man Sentenced to 57 Months for Making Violent Threats Against Law Enforcement

Bryan Cornwell, a 42-year-old man from Norwood, Colorado, has been sentenced to 57 months in federal prison after being convicted by a jury of two counts of transmitting threats in interstate commerce.

According to the facts established at trial and at sentencing, from late August through later October 2023, Cornwell knowingly sent over 80 emails containing graphic and threatening messages to a law enforcement official.

The messages included threats to kill and seriously injure the official, such as ‘You will beg me… beg and plead and scream in pain by my hand tick tok m***** f***er,’ and repeated statements that ‘I AM GOING TO KILL YOU.’

‘Do not make threats against law enforcement officials,’ said United States Attorney for the District of Colorado Peter McNeilly. ‘Doing so will land you in federal prison.’

This case was investigated by the FBI Denver Field Office and handled by Assistant United States Attorney Jeffrey K. Graves.

United States District Judge Gordon Gallagher handled the sentencing, which included a three-year term of supervised release in addition to the 57-month prison sentence.

Special Agent In Charge of FBI Denver Amanda Koldjeski stated that the FBI will not tolerate threats against any law enforcement professionals and will ensure justice is served for such crimes.

Bryan Cornwell’s case is a stark reminder of the consequences of making violent threats against law enforcement officials and serves as a warning to anyone who may consider such actions.
