Woman Sentenced for Threatening Congresswoman | Charleston News

Published 1 week, 4 days ago
Description

A 28-year-old woman from Indianapolis, Shayla Addison, has been sentenced to 27 months in federal prison for sending explicit threats to U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace, including vows to kill her and blow up a building. Addison, who also targeted Mace’s social media, pleaded guilty to two counts of threatening a federal official. Her history of intimidation—ranging from threatening a restaurant linked to her ex to plotting to burn down her mother’s apartment—adds gravity to the case. Jointly investigated by the FBI and U.S. Capitol Police, the conviction underscores that threats against public servants will not be ignored. Mace, who receives over 1,300 credible threats yearly, emphasized that no one should fear serving the public. This case sends a clear message: political violence and intimidation face serious consequences.
