Trump supporter with history of violent threats fails to report to prison, instead flees

Abigail Shry, a Trump supporter with a history of making violent and racist threats, fled after failing to report to a federal correctional facility in Tallahassee, Florida. Shry pleaded guilty last November to threatening U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan after the judge was assigned to oversee Trump's federal election interference case. She warned the judge: "If Trump doesn't get elected in 2024, we're coming to kill you. So tread lightly." Shry also allegedly threatened to kill then-Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee and her family. A federal judge in Houston has issued a warrant for her arrest. In 2023, Shry threatened an armed attack on the Texas Capitol if Attorney General Ken Paxton were impeached, stating: "We will take weapons, come to Austin, and annihilate the government."
