LAS VEGAS – A federal jury convicted a Las Vegas man Monday who was charged with sending threatening emails to the former police chief and chief deputy city attorney for North Las Vegas, Nevada's U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden said.
Eric Leon Christian, 39, faces up to 10 years in prison and $500,000 in fines. He is scheduled to be sentenced April 10 by U.S. District Judge James Mahan.
On May 31, 2009, Christian sent an email to then-Police Chief Joe Forti requesting that Forti help him retrieve his vehicle from an impound lot. Christian sent another email to Forti the next day threatening to injure the chief if he did not help him retrieve the vehicle. The email stated: "I will have to kill to retrieve my stolen and items if you do not retrieve them," and "Get my (expletive) car or watch a terrorist car thief DIE!!!"
Christian sent another email on June 4, 2009, to then-Chief Deputy City Attorney Michael Davidson. After requesting information regarding two court cases, Christian wrote, "Do not ignore me, because I just get more persistent and pissed the (expletive) off. It would be best to get the Writ of Habeas Corpus out of the way that way I don't need to get a mob together and start a civil war to kill Judge Van Landeschoot or YOU for terrorizing and violating the rights of American citizens!"
The case was investigated by the FBI and prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Roger Yang and Special Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandon Jaroch.
