PASCAGOULA, Miss. (AP) — A man from northern Mississippi has been arrested on charges of threatening a chancery court judge on the state’s Gulf Coast.
Jackson County Sheriff John Ledbetter said Jeffery Miles, 38, of Cleveland, Mississippi, was arrested July 19 in Illinois and was taken to Mississippi on Monday, WXXV-TV reported.
Miles was charged with making terrorist threats and retaliation against a public servant. He remained in the Jackson County Jail after being denied bond on the terrorist threat charge during an initial hearing Tuesday. Jail records did not show whether he had an attorney who could speak on his behalf.
Miles allegedly left messages on Chancery Judge Mark Maples’ office phone, threatening to harm him if he didn’t issue a favorable ruling in an Ocean Springs case the judge was hearing. The Jackson County Sheriff’s Department declined to specify which case was involved.
