A Kingman man, Jerrod Hunter Schmidt, was sentenced on Dec. 17, 2018, after being found guilty by a federal jury of two counts of threatening the President of the United States and two counts of making interstate threatening communications, in September.
Schmidt, age 39, of Kingman, was sentenced to 37 months in the Bureau of Prisons followed by three years of supervised release.
According to the Department of Justice, “after learning that his conviction for a prior felony was affirmed by the Nebraska Court of Appeals, Schmidt made a series of calls to the court clerk’s office. The calls took place on April 10 and April 11, 2018. Schmidt left voice messages wherein he threatened to shoot and kill President Donald Trump, one of the clerks of the Nebraska Court of Appeals, and other political figures.”
