BARROW COUNTY, GA — A Texas man is facing federal charges after authorities say he threatened the judge and district attorney’s office involved in the Apalachee High School mass shooting case.

Authorities say 39-year-old Brandon Dontrail Scroggins of Abilene, Texas, made the threats during the July sentencing of Colin Gray, the father of Apalachee High School shooter Colt Gray.

According to U.S. Attorney Theodore Hertzberg, Scroggins called the Barrow County District Attorney’s Office and told a receptionist he was coming to “take out” Barrow County because of what he described as “injustice.” He also allegedly threatened employees of the office and their children.

Authorities say Scroggins then called the chambers of Barrow County Superior Court Judge Nicholas Primm, who presided over Gray’s case, and left a voicemail stating that “a death date just came up for Judge Nicholas Primm.”

Scroggins, a convicted felon, is being held in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service in Texas.

He is awaiting transportation for further proceedings in the Middle District of Alabama and the Northern District of Georgia.
