Ex-Vet Threatens VA Worker, Faces 5 Years Behind Bars
A disturbing case of a U.S. military veteran threatening a VA employee has come to light in New Orleans. Marlon Jenerro Green, 41, pleaded guilty to one count of making threatening communications before U.S. District Judge Ivan L.R. Lemelle.
According to court documents, Green, a U.S. military veteran receiving monthly benefits from the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, called the VA office in New Orleans on May 24, 2011, and threatened to kill an employee over a dispute regarding his VA benefits.
The alleged threat was made in 2011, but it wasn’t until recently that Green faced the consequences of his actions. He will be sentenced on July 10, 2013, and faces a maximum term of imprisonment of five years, a fine of $250,000, and three years of supervised release following any term of imprisonment.
The case was investigated by special agents of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who worked tirelessly to bring Green to justice. Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory M. Kennedy prosecuted the case, ensuring that Green would face the full weight of the law.
Green’s actions are a stark reminder of the importance of treating others with respect and dignity, even in the face of disagreement. His threat against a VA employee is a serious offense that will not be taken lightly.
The people of New Orleans expect their veterans to be treated with respect and compassion, and it’s disappointing to see one of their own resort to threats and intimidation.
Green’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for July 10, 2013. It’s a chance for the community to come together and hold him accountable for his actions.
The case serves as a reminder that threats and intimidation will not be tolerated in our community. We must stand together to ensure that our veterans are treated with the respect and dignity they deserve.
