Albuquerque, NM - Brian Stacy, a resident of
Los Alamos, NM was arrested Wednesday June 15, on charges that he allegedly
threatened U.S. District Judge John E. Conway. Stacy allegedly sent a series of
threatening e-mails to Judge Conway and was arrested in a joint operation
involving the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the United States Marshals
Service and the United States Attorney’s Office.
Stacy has prior arrests for possession of an unregistered firearm and numerous
probation violations one of which was for threatening a Federal Probation
Officer. Marshals Service investigators and Federal Bureau of Investigation
Special Agents investigated the alleged threats and Stacy was arrested and
brought before Federal Magistrate Judge Torgerson in Albuquerque on Thursday for
his Arraignment.
The primary role and mission of the United States Marshals Service is to provide
for the security of, and to obey, execute, and enforce all orders of, the United
States courts. (28 U.S.C. , 566(a)). In particular, the USMS is authorized to
provide personal protection to federal judges, court officer, witnesses, and
other threatened persons in the interests of justice where criminal intimidation
impedes on the functioning of the judicial process or any other official
proceeding. (28 U.S.C. , 566(e)(1)(A)). US Marshal Conrad Candelaria said,
“First, I want to thank our federal partners FBI and US Attorney’s Office. The
United States Marshals Service considers any threat to our judiciary no matter
how minor or large as a serious matter. We will investigate and request that
they be prosecuted under the full extent of the law.”
