A Follansbee, West Virginia, man was arrested today on criminal charges related to his alleged obstruction and witness tampering in a federal trial.
Hardy Carroll Lloyd, age 45, was taken into custody early this morning without incident. According to the criminal complaint, Lloyd began commenting online about the federal hate crimes trial in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, of Robert Bowers, the Tree of Life Synagogue mass shooter. Lloyd, a self-proclaimed “reverend” of a white supremacy movement, made threatening social media posts, website comments, and emails towards the jury and witnesses during the trial. Lloyd also placed or had others place stickers in predominantly Jewish areas of Pittsburgh, directing people to the website containing his threats and antisemitic messages.
I've heard that his email threats were far wider than just the jury and witnesses and that he's being charged with those, as well.
He's a frequent flyer, so look for him to go away for awhile.
Guess where they are reporting the tip came from about this guy…
ReplyDeleteTruth Social…that’s hurting that dirty Libs storyline…
That may be where one of the tips came from, but there are Jewish groups that monitor social media and which collect emails forwarded from Jews who have received threats. At least one of those groups was in contact with the FBI about this particular asswipe.
