Stephane Brice, Interstate Transmission of Threats, Florida 2026

A Georgia man has been sentenced to prison for making threats against a federal law enforcement officer. Stephane Brice, 23 of Georgia, was sentenced to 27 months in federal prison for interstate transmission of threats to assault and kill a federal law enforcement officer.

According to court documents, on March 18, 2025, Brice called the IRS to complain about a tax refund issue. During the call, Brice grew frustrated and threatened to go to the IRS office and kill and behead IRS employees.

The following day, a federal law enforcement officer called Brice as part of an investigation into his threats. During this call, Brice began shouting profanity-laced threats to behead the federal law enforcement officer and to burn down his house with his children inside.

United States Attorney Gregory W. Kehoe made the announcement of Brice’s sentencing. This case was investigated by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration (TIGTA) and the Internal Revenue Service. It was prosecuted by Special Assistant United States Attorney Joseph Wheeler III and Assistant United States Attorney Kelly Milliron.

Brice pleaded guilty on January 6, 2026, to the charges against him. He was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Thomas P. Barber. The exact date of Brice’s sentencing was not provided in the press release.

This case highlights the importance of taking threats against law enforcement seriously. The IRS and other federal agencies must be able to work without fear of violence or intimidation.

The sentence was handed down in Tampa, Florida, where Brice will serve his time. The exact facility where Brice will be incarcerated was not provided in the press release.
