A judge sentenced a Houston man to nearly three years in prison for making threatening phone calls to the district office of Rep. Maxine Waters.
Rep. Maxine Waters stood at the podium in front of a federal judge to tell him of the nightmares that stemmed from a Texas man's threats, including one to cut her throat. Waters told U.S. District Court Judge Gary Klausner on Monday that her family members — several of whom were present in the Los Angeles courtroom — live 'in fear every day' because of violent threats made by Brian Michael Gaherty, a Houston resident. Gaherty, 61, pleaded guilty Jan.
In his voicemails, Gaherty talked about putting 'a cap' between Waters' eyes and threatened to “stomp” her. He also warned that she “better move” because he and his “boys in the area” had a “contract” on her life. Gaherty was arrested in April 2023 after prosecutors filed a criminal complaint that outlined the threats to Waters and alleged Gaherty had threatened other elected officials and a news reporter in Houston. A grand jury later indicted Gaherty on federal charges.
