Show Notes
Joshua Michael Richardson, a 38-year-old from Alabama, was sentenced in Orange County for possessing brass knuckles, but remains in federal custody for interstate stalking charges related to threats against St. Michaels Abbey in Silverado Canyon. Richardson, who pleaded guilty to two felony counts, sent creepy emails to the abbey, calling himself the Angel of Death and discussing biblical themes. After showing up at the abbey and chatting with a priest, the priest reported the threats to authorities. Richardsons car was later searched, revealing high-capacity magazines, knives, a sword, body armor, tactical gear, and a letter about purging corruption. Richardson has prior convictions for domestic violence and disorderly conduct in Alabama. A federal hearing on his fitness to stand trial is scheduled for May 20th. This case underscores the potential dangers of online threats.
