An Alabama man, Arthur Ray Hanson II, was sentenced to nearly two years in prison for leaving threatening phone messages for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Sheriff Pat Labat. Hanson, of Huntsville, made the calls in August 2023, just before former President Donald Trump and 18 others were indicted in Fulton County over election-related issues.
U.S. District Judge J.P. Boulee in Atlanta described Hanson's behavior as 'appalling' and sentenced him to a year and nine months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. Hanson also received a $7,500 fine. He had pleaded guilty to leaving threatening messages in June.
