ALBANY -A Warren County man will spend the next two years in prison for sending profanity-laden and threatening emails to court employees in North Carolina in November 2019, federal authorities said Friday.
Fredrick Eli Knapp, 52, of Pottersville was convicted of transmitting interstate threats to injure another person, according to the Justice Department.
Knapp also posted a message to the North Carolina court system’s Facebook page threatening to “find a way to get back to that state just to kill people in your courthouses,” officials said. He left a voicemail for a North Carolina police officer stating that police officers “don’t deserve to live.” In response to Knapp’s threats, bomb-detection dogs had to be sent to a North Carolina courthouse, officials said.
