Jury Convicts Glens Falls Man of Transmitting Threats

A 35-year-old man from Glens Falls, New York, has been convicted of transmitting threats to injure another person. Jesse Bedell, 35, was found guilty by a jury in a 2-day trial, following an investigation by the Glens Falls Police Department and Homeland Security Investigations.

The evidence presented at trial showed that Bedell had applied to work at Medline Industries’ NAMIC Division in Glens Falls and received an employment offer. However, he failed to disclose a prior criminal conviction, which led to the withdrawal of the offer on January 9, 2020.

The following morning, Bedell phoned Medline employees in Neptune, New Jersey, and Northfield, Illinois, and threatened to burn down and blow up the Glens Falls plant. He also threatened to kill an employee in Illinois.

The jury took just 20 minutes to convict Bedell on both counts. Sentencing is scheduled for June 12, 2024, before United States District Judge Mae A. D’Agostino in Albany, at which time the defendant faces a maximum term of imprisonment of 5 years, a fine of up to $250,000 and a term of supervised release of up to 3 years.

The case was investigated by the Glens Falls Police Department and Homeland Security Investigations, with assistance from the Warren County District Attorney’s Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas Collyer is prosecuting the case.

In a statement, United States Attorney Carla B. Freedman said: ‘This conviction demonstrates our commitment to holding individuals accountable for their actions, particularly when those actions pose a threat to the safety and well-being of others.’
