The administrative assistant to Western Judicial Circuit Superior Court Judge H. Patrick Haggard reported Monday that she was receiving threatening calls from an unidentified man, Athens-Clarke County police said.
The assistant told police the man had been calling for several months, and she even spoken with him, but the calls became threatening and early Monday the man left a message that stated, “I wish Judge Haggard would just burn in hell,” according to police.
Police on Monday said they did not yet know who the man was, but “apparently he is upset that he was sentenced to 399 days while Judge Haggard knew his mother was sick at the time,” according to police.
