BUFFALO, N.Y.-Acting U.S. Attorney James P. Kennedy, Jr. announced today that
Jared Brown, 20, of Niagara County, NY, has been sentenced to serve 24 months in prison
by U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. Vilardo for violating the terms and conditions of his
supervised release. The violation and sentence arose after Brown, in a 911 call to the Lockport
City Police Department on Dec. 26, 2016, threatened to kill then President-elect Donald
Trump.
According to Assistant U. S. Attorney Scott S. Allen, who handled the case, at the
time of the 911 call, Brown was already serving a three-year term of supervised release, which
followed a 15-month prison sentenced that the defendant served for previously threatening to
kill former-President Barack Obama.
The sentencing is the culmination of an investigation by the United States Secret
Service, under the direction of Special Agent-in-Charge Lewis Robinson and the Lockport
Police Department, under the direction of Chief Michael Niethe.
