A California man has been sentenced to 11 months in prison for leaving threatening voicemails to former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, as announced by the Justice Department. David Allen Carrier, 44, pleaded guilty to two counts of making threats against a federal official in December after a grand jury indictment.
Carrier, a resident of Concord, left a threatening voicemail to assault Pelosi on January 21, 2021, just 15 days after the U.S. Capitol riot. Later, on June 30, 2022, he called the Department of Homeland Security hotline and threatened to assault Mayorkas. Carrier admitted that he intended to interfere with the official duties of Pelosi and Mayorkas.
