BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB) — A Lancaster man who was arraigned last Monday allegedly sent threats to New York Attorney General Letitia James and a Supreme Court judge presiding over the civil case against former President Donald Trump, multiple sources confirmed to News 4 WIVB.
The Erie County District Attorney’s Office said Tyler Vogel, 26, allegedly sent the text messages on March 24, which threatened “physical harm or death” to the victims if they did not comply with his request to cease action in a “high-profile civil case.”
It is alleged that Vogel used a paid background website to get Judge Arthur Engoron and James’ phone numbers, officials said. A temporary order of protection was issued on behalf of the victims.
Vogel was charged with two counts of making a terroristic threat and two counts of second-degree aggravated harassment. He will return to court on April 9 for a felony hearing after a Thursday appearance was pushed back, officials said.
