Joshua Frisch, a 42-year-old resident of Frackville, Pennsylvania, was sentenced on August 7, 2024, to time served (six months) and three years of supervised release. The sentence was handed down by United States District Court Judge Julia K. Munley for one count of influencing a federal official by threat.
United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam stated that Frisch had previously pled guilty to threatening federal law enforcement officers, specifically FBI Agents, with the intent to interfere with their official duties. Between November 12 and November 13, 2022, Frisch posted a series of threatening communications on multiple social media accounts, including Truth Social and X (formerly known as Twitter). These posts were intended to interfere with the performance of the federal law enforcement officers' duties.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation conducted the investigation into this matter. Assistant United States Attorney James Buchanan prosecuted the case.
