Hiawassee man charged for role in Capitol riot, threatening House Speaker Pelosi
A Towns County man who took part in Wednesday’s assault on the U.S. Capitol is facing federal charges for threatening the life of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
According to a report by the AJC, Cleveland Grover Meredith sent a text message prior to the week’s events where he threatened to put “a bullet in [Pelosi’s] noggin on Live TV,” and another saying he was heading to Washington, D.C. with armor-piercing bullets in tow. A search of Meredith’s truck and trailer revealed an assault rifle, handguns and “hundreds of rounds of ammunition,” according to CNN.
State investigators are continuing their probe of a pre-dawn fire Saturday that left two people dead and a third injured outside Hiawassee.
The victims who died in the home have been identified only as a woman in her 60s and a man in his 90s, said Towns County Fire and Rescue Chief Harold Copeland. An elderly man who was in the home was transported to Chatuge Regional Hospital and later released.
Identities of the victims are being withheld pending notification of out-of-state next of kin, Copeland said.
“The alarm went out at 5:17 [Saturday] morning to 88 Leisure Woods Drive in Hiawassee off Owl Creek Road,” Copeland said. “It’s a pretty good way out there.”
