NEW ORLEANS MAN PLEADS GUILTY TO MAILING THREATENING COMMUNICATION
A 38-year-old New Orleans man has pleaded guilty to mailing a threatening communication to high-ranking government officials and employees. SHAUN CHAPMAN pleaded guilty to the charge on November 9, 2023, in violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 876(c).
According to court documents, CHAPMAN mailed a letter to the Robert Nixon Federal Courthouse in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania that contained threats to the President and Vice-President of the United States, Supreme Court justices, and U.S. Secret Service employees. A U.S. Secret Service investigation revealed that the letter was mailed from the Orleans Justice Center where CHAPMAN was incarcerated on unrelated charges.
CHAPMAN faces a maximum term of ten years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, up to a three-year term of supervised release, and a mandatory $100 special assessment fee.
U.S. Attorney Duane A. Evans praised the work of the United States Secret Service in investigating this matter. Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory M. Kennedy of the Violent Crime Unit is in charge of the prosecution.
The case against CHAPMAN is a disturbing example of the growing threat of violence against our nation’s leaders and institutions. As a society, we must take all threats seriously and work to prevent such incidents from occurring in the future.
The guilty plea is a significant development in the case, and we will continue to monitor the situation closely. We urge anyone with information about this or similar incidents to come forward and report it to the authorities.
At Grimy Times, we are committed to shining a light on the most pressing issues affecting our community and holding those responsible for these crimes accountable. We will continue to provide updates on this case as more information becomes available.
