The U.S. Attorney’s office in Detroit has filed criminal charges against a woman who allegedly threated a member of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers.
The FBI says Board chair Monica Palmer received photos of a mutilated body, a day after she had initially refused to certify local results in favor of Joe Biden. Palmer chaired a raucous meeting of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers on Nov. 17. Palmer and a fellow Republican on the board initially refused to certify local election results, typically a routine step. They later changed their position.
23-year-old Katelyn Jones is charged with texting threatening messages to Board Chairwoman Monica Palmer calling her a “racist” and a “terrorist.” Jones allegedly also sent two photos of a deceased woman’s nude, mutilated body and made reference to Palmer’s daughter by name.
