MARYLAND (WBFF) — A 51-year-old Aberdeen man has been indicted on charges tied to what federal prosecutors described as domestic terrorism involving repeated harassing phone calls and threats against a federal law enforcement officer.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Maryland announced that Daniel Amos, 51, of Aberdeen, faces an indictment charging him with three counts of repeatedly making harassing telephone calls and one count of influencing, impeding, or retaliating against a federal official.
According to the indictment, between April 15, 2024, and April 16, 2026, Amos repeatedly made telephone calls and initiated communication with a telecommunications device “solely to harass” Individuals 1, 2, and 3.
Prosecutors said Amos also threatened to assault Individual 3, identified in the indictment as a federal law enforcement officer working for the Supreme Court of the United States Police Department.
The indictment alleges Amos intended through those threats to impede, intimidate and interfere with the officer’s ability to perform official duties, and to retaliate against the officer for performing those duties.
If convicted, Amos faces a maximum of two years in prison for each count of repeatedly making harassing telephone calls and up to 10 years for influencing, impeding, or retaliating against a federal official.
