FLORIDA<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"LaA man already serving time in state prison has been sentenced to an additional 20 years for repeatedly threatening to kill federal judges, U.S. Marshals, and prosecutors, officials stated Thursday<\/span><\/p>\n

Michael Dean Drew, 51, received this sentence on August 19 in Miami, and it will run consecutively to his current sentence. <\/span><\/p>\n

According to authorities, Drew has a long history of sending threatening letters to federal officials, which has already led to five prior sentences.<\/span><\/p>\n

Drew’s latest crimes involved sending a series of disturbing letters from prison in 2023. <\/span><\/p>\n

In May, he sent a letter to a federal judge in the Southern District of Florida, threatening that the judge would die a violent death for presiding over a specific criminal case. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"MalletIn August, he mailed two more letters to the federal courthouse in Miami, threatening another federal judge and members of the U.S. Marshals Service. <\/span><\/p>\n

In these letters, Drew detailed how he was recruiting others to carry out violent murders of the judge and Marshals.<\/span><\/p>\n

In September 2023, Drew escalated his threats by sending letters from his Florida prison to Assistant U.S. Attorneys in Virginia and Georgia. He claimed to have enlisted gang members and members of the Aryan Nation prison gang to kill these prosecutors and their families. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Drew’s letters included graphic descriptions of how he intended to carry out these murders, leaving no doubt about his serious intent.<\/span><\/p>\n

In one particularly chilling letter, Drew wrote that he would \u201ctake great pleasure in knowing you will suffer and die\u201d and described how the judge’s body would be \u201cdiscarded as a piece of trash, thrown in a ditch.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

In a letter to the U.S. Marshals Service, he boasted about \u201crecruiting\u201d fellow inmates into the Aryan Nation gang, stating that their \u201cfirst objective is to murder as many U.S. Marshals as possible.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Drew also mentioned that he and his \u201ccomrades\u201d had taken a blood oath to \u201ckill, harass, terrorize, and destroy federal agents,\u201d all in retaliation for their roles in the judicial system.<\/span><\/p>\n

The FBI’s Miami Field Office and the U.S. Marshals Service in Miami conducted the investigation that led to Drew\u2019s conviction. <\/span><\/p>\n

On June 6, Drew pleaded guilty to five counts of mailing threatening communications.<\/span><\/p>\n

Assistant U.S. Attorneys Daniel Funk, Zachary E. Keller, and Emily Rose Stone prosecuted the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
