A man pleaded guilty to threatening to kill Chief Justice John Roberts.
Neal Brij Sidhwaney, a Florida resident, made a phone call to the Supreme Court on July 31, where he left an “expletive-laden, threatening voicemail message,” according to a press release from the Department of Justice.
In the voicemail, Sidhwaney revealed his identity and said, “I will [expletive] kill you,”
After Sidhwaney was psychologically evaluated, it was revealed his intended target was Chief Justice John Roberts.
According to documents, Sidhwaney previously worked as a programmer for Google for eight years.
The documents described that Sidhwaney began experiencing paranoia in 2017 after he left Google, when he began to express beliefs that a “private agency” was following him.
“Over time the identity of the offending agency has changed from Google, to the FBI to the Secret Service to the current security agency,” the documents say.
Sidhwaney faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000, according to NBC News.
