Daniel Amos, a 51-year-old Maryland man, has been indicted on domestic terrorism charges for making harassing phone calls and threatening a federal law enforcement officer. The incidents occurred between April 15, 2024, and April 16, 2026, in Aberdeen, Maryland. Amos allegedly made repeated calls to harass three individuals, including a federal officer working for the Supreme Court of the United States Police Department. The threats were intended to impede the officer’s ability to perform his job duties and retaliate against him for doing his job.
The indictment charges Amos with three counts of making harassing telephone calls and one count of influencing, impeding, or retaliating against a federal official. If convicted, Amos faces a maximum of two years in prison for each count of harassing calls and 10 years for influencing or retaliating against a federal official.
The investigation was conducted by the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), and the Aberdeen Police Department (APD), with assistance from the Supreme Court of the United States Police Department – Protective Intelligence Unit. U.S. Attorney Kelly O. Hayes commended the agencies for their work in the investigation.
An indictment is not a finding of guilt, and Amos is presumed innocent until proven guilty at a later criminal proceeding. The case will be decided in federal district court, where a judge will determine sentencing based on the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.
