Violent racist Trump supporter goes on the run after failing to report to prison
A supporter of President Donald Trump with a documented history of making violent racist threats against Democrats, a federal judge, and the Texas Capitol has gone on the run after failing to report to prison in Florida.
According to CBS News, federal officials lost track of Abigail Shry after she pleaded guilty last November to threatening U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan. The threat came hours after the judge was assigned to oversee Trump's federal election interference case.
"If Trump doesn't get elected in 2024, we're coming to kill you. So tread lightly," Shry reportedly warned.
Shry also allegedly threatened to kill then-Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) "personally, publicly, your family, all of it."
"CBS News has learned Shry was scheduled to self-surrender to the federal correctional facility in Tallahassee, Florida, on Tuesday, but did not show," CBS noted. "A federal judge in Houston has ordered a warrant for her arrest."
In 2023, Shry was also accused of making threats on the Texas Capitol. She warned that there would be "war on the Texas Capitol" if Ken Paxton, the state's attorney general, were impeached.
"Shry specifically states that there would be an armed attack and it would not be non-violent like the January 6th protests at the U.S. Capitol," police reported.
"We will take weapons, come to Austin, and annihilate the government," Shry warned.
