For Immediate Release
U.S. Attorney's Office, Southern District of Alabama

MOBILE, AL – A Baldwin County man was sentenced on January 29, 2024, to 17 months in prison for making threatening communications to a federal law enforcement officer.

According to court documents, David Clarence Shaw placed multiple calls to the Operations Center of the Federal Bureau of Investigation threatening to kill a federal task force officer and referring to himself as the “Angel of Death.”  After serving his 17-month sentence, Shaw will serve a three-year term of supervised release. 

“Law enforcement officers put themselves in harm’s way daily to protect the public,” said United States Attorney Sean P. Costello.  “Threats to their safety – or to any member of our community – will not be tolerated.”  

The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the case.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Kasee S. Heisterhagen prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.
