Michael Buck Sentenced to 25 Years in Federal Prison for Threats
A federal judge in Vermont has sentenced Michael Buck, 45, of Missouri, to 300 months in federal prison for threatening a federal judge and a federal law enforcement officer.
According to the Department of Justice, Buck, a convicted felon with multiple prior convictions, made the threatening statements in 2022. The threats were directed at a federal judge and a federal law enforcement officer, as well as their families.
The investigation into Buck’s threats was led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Marshals Service. The case was prosecuted by the United States Attorney’s Office for the District of Vermont.
Buck’s sentence was handed down by U.S. District Judge Geoffrey W. Crawford, who also ordered Buck to pay a special assessment of $300.
At the sentencing hearing, Judge Crawford stated that Buck’s actions were ‘a serious threat to the safety and well-being of the judge and the law enforcement officer, as well as their families.’
The Department of Justice praised the work of the FBI and the U.S. Marshals Service in investigating and bringing Buck to justice. The agency also commended the U.S. Attorney’s Office for its prosecution of the case.
Buck’s conviction and sentence serve as a reminder of the seriousness of threats against federal officials and the consequences of such actions.
The case against Buck is a prime example of the Justice Department’s commitment to protecting federal officials and upholding the rule of law.
