A Huntsville man was indicted by a federal grand jury in Atlanta for allegedly threatening Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and the county sheriff over the prosecution there of former President Donald Trump, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of Georgia announced Monday.

Arthur Ray Hanson II, 59, of Huntsville, allegedly left voicemails that threatened violence toward Willis and Fulton County Sheriff Patrick Labat on their offices’ customer service lines over the summer, federal prosecutors said.

The messages to Willis, according to prosecutors, included statements such as: “watch it when you’re going to the car at night, when you’re going into your house, watch everywhere that you’re going;” “I would be very afraid if I were you because you can’t be around people all the time that are going to protect you;” “there’s gonna be moments when you’re gonna be vulnerable;” “when you charge Trump on that fourth indictment, anytime you’re alone, be looking over your shoulder;” and “what you put out there, [expletive], comes back at you ten times harder, and don’t ever forget it.”

Trump is being prosecuted in Fulton County over his efforts in Georgia to overturn the 2020 election results there. The state was won by President Joe Biden.

Hanson’s voicemails suggested he believed Trump won Georgia and threatened Labat over the former president’s mugshot being taken in Fulton County.

“[I]f you think you gonna take a mugshot of my President Donald Trump and it’s gonna be ok, you gonna find out that after you take that mugshot, some bad [expletive]’s probably gonna happen to you,” Hanson said, according to prosecutors. “[I]f you take a mugshot of the President and you’re the reason it happened, some bad [expletive]’s gonna happen to you.”

The Huntsville resident also allegedly told Hanson, “I’m warning you right now before you [expletive] up your life and get hurt real bad;” “whether you got a [expletive] badge or not ain’t gonna help you none;” and “you gonna get [expletive]ed up you keep [expletive]ing with my President.”

Hanson appeared in federal court in Huntsville on charges of transmitting interstate threats. He is scheduled to be formally arraigned in Atlanta on Nov. 13, prosecutors said.

Hanson was indicted by the grand jury last Wednesday, although prosecutors announced the case against the Huntsville resident on Monday.

“Sending interstate threats to physically harm prosecutors and law enforcement officers is a vile act intended to interfere with the administration of justice and intimidate individuals who accept a solemn duty to protect and safeguard the rights of citizens,” said U.S. Attorney Ryan K. Buchanan. “When someone threatens to harm public servants for doing their jobs to enforce our criminal laws, it potentially weakens the very foundation of our society. Our office will labor tirelessly with our federal, state, and local law enforcement partners to help ensure that law enforcement officials are free to serve our communities without the threat of physical attack.”

“Threats against public servants are not only illegal, but also a threat against our democratic process,” added Keri Farley, Special Agent in Charge of FBI Atlanta. “The FBI’s mission is to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution. We take this responsibility very seriously and seek to punish those who engage in this type of criminal behavior, and to send the message that such conduct will not be tolerated.”
