According to police, Tyler Vogel, 26 of Lancaster NY, sent a text message to New York Attorney General #Letitia #James, saying he would use “death and physical harm
if she did not comply with his requests to cease action” against Donald Trump,
specifically, the seizure of his assets and properties following New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron’s ruling in February.
In texts to both Engoron and James, Vogel reportedly told the judge that he would defend himself with ️“deadly force”
️and would go after the officials with the same.
Vogel is accused of telling James in particular that he had a “whole wall of deadly weapons”
to choose from.
“Mark my words I will kill you if you even dare to permanently steal Donald Trumps assets or his property,”
he is accused of writing in one text sent late last month.
A complaint filed in Lancaster notes that Vogel is accused of using a “paid online background website” to seek out James and Engoron’s private information and that this “confirmed intentions to follow through with the threats were his demands not met.”
Vogel is facing two felony counts of making terroristic threats and a pair of second-degree aggravated harassment misdemeanor charges.
As first reported by the Buffalo News, Vogel is accused of telling James that he was giving her “fair warning” that she was “not to permanently steal Donald Trumps assets or his property.”
“Furthermore,” Vogel allegedly wrote to James, “you are not to imprison Donald Trump.”
Public inmate records show that Vogel was detained at the Erie County Holding Center on March 25.
A statement released two days after his arrest by Erie County District Attorney John Flynn noted that if convicted, the 26-year-old man faces a maximum sentence of seven years in prison.
