Danville man indicted for threats to FBI

Apr. 12—WILLIAMSPORT — A 33-year-old Danville man faces federal charges after threatening to attack or kill FBI agents, according to U.S. officials.

The United States Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania said a federal grand jury announced the indictment against Thomas Green, of Danville. He is charged with influencing federal officials by threat and interstate communications with a threat, according to a press release.

According to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, the indictment alleges that Green called multiple FBI field offices across the country for several years to express frustration that the FBI was not investigating alleged criminal conduct reported by Green.

The indictment also alleges that, beginning on or about Aug. 18, 2022, Green began calling several FBI field offices across the country and threatening to assault and murder FBI agents if they did not investigate the alleged criminal conduct reported by Green.

The indictment also alleges that Green called the FBI field office in Miami, Florida, and told FBI personnel that he knew about the murder of two Miami FBI agents and that "can happen again" if FBI personnel did not "act" how Green wanted them to, according to a press release.

FBI Special Agents Laura Schwartzenberger and Daniel Alfin, who were members of FBI Miami, were killed while executing a search warrant in 2021, the release said.

This matter is being investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Kyle Moreno is prosecuting the case.
