Hardin Man Sentenced to 2 Years in Prison for Threatening FBI Agents
BILLINGS, Mont. – A Hardin man who made threatening and vulgar phone calls to the FBI in 2023 was sentenced to 24 months in prison to be followed by 1 year of supervised release, U.S. Attorney Kurt Alme said.
Glenn Gale Ware, 46, pleaded guilty in March 2024 to placing harassing telephone calls.
U.S. District Judge Susan P. Watters presided over the case.
The government alleged in court documents that in May 2022, the FBI in Billings began receiving telephone calls, emails, and online messages from Ware, who was falsely reporting misconduct by two special agents.
Ware alleged the agents were using satellite technology to transmit their voices to him and threaten his family. He made similar reports to the FBI Field Office in Salt Lake City, to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), to the FBI’s National Threats Operation Center, and to the Yellowstone County Sheriff’s Office. These reports were false.
Over time, the frequency of Ware’s calls increased. Between June 19 and August 12, 2023, Ware called the FBI Resident Agency Office in Billings and left 29 voicemails. He made the calls from his personal phone number and identified himself by name in most of the voicemails.
In the voicemails, Ware addressed a specific FBI Special Agent by name and used vulgar and threatening language toward and about that person to harass them. He also continued making reports about the agent’s actions that were untrue.
The FBI received the calls and recorded the voicemails. The agent to whom they were directed heard them as well.
Ware was interviewed by a different FBI agent on August 8, 2023. He admitted making the calls and leaving the voicemails.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Benjamin Hargrove prosecuted the case. The investigation was conducted by the FBI.
The defendant’s exact criminal charges were placing harassing telephone calls.
The sentence was 24 months in prison to be followed by 1 year of supervised release.
The case was reported to have occurred in May 2022.
No dollar amounts were mentioned in the source.
Glenn Gale Ware is the defendant/respondent with his real full name.
This case is an example of violent crime.
