Authorities contacted Gaherty and told him to disengage in October 2022, but a few weeks later, he continued with more violent threats.
Tuesday, June 18, 2024 3:11AMOn Monday, a Houston man was sentenced to 33 months in federal prison for making several threatening phone calls to California Democratic U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters.
According to officials, Gaherty made these threats with the intent to impede, intimidate, and interfere with Waters while she was engaged in the performance of her official duties. In August 2022, Gaherty threatened to "put a cap" between the congresswoman's eyes," "cut throat," and "stomp" her. He further warned that she "better move" because he and his "boys in the area" had a "contract" on her life.
