Raymond Man Charged for Threatening Federal Employees in Manchester, New Hampshire.

A case of intimidation has unfolded in New Hampshire, as Raymond man Paul Gangi, 45, has been charged with threatening two supervisory employees of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Health Administration (VHA) in Manchester, New Hampshire.

The charges against Gangi stem from an incident on September 5, 2024, where he allegedly threatened the two employees by stating, "If they keep harassing me, I am going to come in and pop these guys." This chilling statement prompted a VA employee to report the threat to law enforcement.

Paul Gangi, the defendant, appeared in federal court on September 23, 2024, and is scheduled to appear again tomorrow at 11:00 a.m. for preliminary and detention hearings. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of the Inspector General led the investigation.

The Assistant U.S. Attorney Anna Krasinski is prosecuting the case. The charge provides for a sentence of no greater than 10 years in prison. Sentences are imposed by a federal district court judge based upon the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and statutes which govern the determination of a sentence in a criminal case.

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Office of the Inspector General led the investigation. The details contained in the charging documents are allegations. Paul Gangi is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

The case highlights the severity of threats against federal employees, and the consequences of such actions. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs has a zero-tolerance policy for threats against its employees.
