ATLANTA (AP) — A alabama man who left threatening phone messages for Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and the county sheriff last summer because he was angry about an investigation into former President Donald Trump, was sentenced Tuesday to nearly two years in prison.

Arthur Ray Hanson II, of Huntsville, made the phone calls just over a week before Trump and 18 others were indicted in Fulton County in August 2023 for efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Prosecutors Federal officials say Hanson left threatening voicemails laced with profanity and racial slurs for willis and Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat.

U.S. District Judge JP Boulee in Atlanta sentenced Hanson to serve one year and nine months in prison, followed by three years of supervised release. He also ordered Hanson to pay a fine of $7,500.

Hanson had pleaded guilty to leaving threatening phone messages. He apologized to Willis and Labat during Tuesday’s hearing.

The indictment against Trump returned by a Fulton County grand jury on August 14, 2023, was the fourth criminal case brought against the former president in a matter of months. He accused Trump and his allies of engaging in a wide-ranging scheme to try to illegally overturn his narrow loss in the state to Democrat Joe Biden.

When Labat was asked at a press conference shortly before the accusation occurred if trump would take a mugshot If he was charged, Labat said, “Unless someone tells me otherwise, we follow our normal practices and therefore, no matter your status, we will have a mug shot ready for you.”

Hanson called the Fulton County government customer service line and left voicemails for the prosecutor and sheriff on August 6, 2023. Prosecutors included transcripts of the messages in a sentencing memorandum submitted to the court.

In a message to Willis, Hanson warned her to be careful, that she won’t always have people around who can protect her and that there will be times when she would be vulnerable. “When you accuse Trump of that fourth impeachment, as long as you’re alone, look over your shoulder,” he said, according to the transcript.

In the message to Labat, Hanson threatened the sheriff and warned him not to take a mugshot of Trump. “I’m just telling you that if you take a mugshot of the president and you’re the reason it happened, something bad will probably happen to you,” the voicemail said, according to court records.

FBI agents traced the calls to Hanson’s cell phone. When officers asked him about the calls, he initially denied making them and said he did not know who Willis and Labat were, prosecutors wrote in the sentencing memorandum. After deputies played him recordings of the calls, he said he was angry about Trump’s impeachment in Fulton County and that he only meant to make Willis and Labat uncomfortable, that he would never hurt them, the memo says.

Officers told Hanson to stop making threatening calls and he said he would, the memo states. But then, about a month later, he called the New Jersey Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness tip line to complain about a counterterrorism initiative. During that call he said that US Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas should be hanged, the memo says.
