U.S. Congressman Jerrold Nadler of New York<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A man who called a U.S. Congressman\u2019s office and told a staffer that he was going to find someone to assassinate the Congressman was sentenced last week to more than a year in federal prison, officials stated.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kenneth Brown, age 57, previously living in Cedar Falls, Iowa, received the prison term after a Dec. 4, 2020 guilty plea to one count of transmitting a threatening communication in interstate commerce.<\/span><\/p>\n

Brown was sentenced in Cedar Rapids by United States District Court Judge C.J. Williams.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Brown was sentenced to 15 months\u2019 imprisonment.\u00a0 He must also serve a three-year term of supervised release after the prison term.\u00a0 There is no parole in the federal system.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the plea hearing, Brown admitted that on December 18, 2019, he called the Washington D.C. office of Congressman Jerrold Nadler of New York.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Brown admitted that he spoke with a staff assistant working in the office and threatened the Congressman.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Specifically, as charged in the indictment, Brown said \u201cI will find someone to assassinate that piece of (expletive deleted) you work for.\u00a0 Jerry Nadler is going to be assassinated.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Information at sentencing showed that Brown has prior criminal convictions involving violence and threats of violence, according to officials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1996, he was convicted of inflicting injury on a spouse and threatening to commit a crime to terrorize the victim.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

In 2005, he was convicted of two counts of aggravated battery against a household member using a deadly weapon.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

In that case, Brown restrained a woman against her will and used a knife to hurt the victim in a way that caused or could have caused the victim great bodily harm.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

In 2010, a warrant was issued for Brown\u2019s arrest because he violated his probation by failing to report to his probation officer, failing to maintain employment, and by incurring new criminal charges, according to officials.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a witness, Brown then fled to Mexico because he knew there was a warrant for his arrest.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Law enforcement ultimately arrested Brown in 2017 and he was sentenced to almost a year in prison.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
