SPOKANE, Wash – A Spokane woman accused of threatening a Minneapolis FBI agent got his personal information from identification stolen from government vehicles after an ICE shooting earlier this month.
Federal prosecutors charged Brenna Doyle of Spokane with threatening to kill a federal agent and his family.
She’s accused of leaving three threatening voicemails that referenced the FBI agent, his wife and their child.
The affidavit just unsealed in Eastern Washington U.S. District Court says this all started with an ICE shooting in Minneapolis January 14th.
In that instance, ICE agents shot a man in the leg.
The FBI came to assist at the scene and federal prosecutors say agents were being threatened by protesters so they left the scene, leaving two government-owned vehicles behind.
The charging documents say protesters broke into the vehicles, stealing equipment and identification.
“Some of the documents stolen contained rosters with employees’ phone numbers, email addresses, and home addresses, as well as driver’s licenses,” the affidavit says.
That information was posted on social media and federal prosecutors say 10 to 15 FBI agents started getting threatening and harassing phone calls, along with people driving by their homes.
On January 21, one FBI agent reported receiving multiple threatening calls.
One voicemail said “I’m going to kill your daughter.”
The FBI agent received 18 voicemails, including some where callers referred to him as a traitor and a Nazi.
Investigators say three of the voicemails were particularly concerning, where prosecutors say the a young woman “directly states they are going to kill [the FBI agent and his family members.”
Transcripts of the calls show the caller said , “I am coming for you” and referred to him by name. “You are dead. Dead, do you hear me?”
In another voicemail, the caller said “You, your wife and your dead damn f*cking daughter are dead.”
The caller ID showed an “unknown number” but cellphone toll records were more specific.
Those records showed the calls were coming from a 509 area code which belonged to Brenna Marie Doyle of Spokane.
Doyle was arrested over the weekend and charged with multiple felonies.
She was in court for a detention hearing Wednesday morning, but waived the hearing and will be extradited to Minnesota to face the charges.
The affidavit says Doyle has a criminal history that includes a felony charge of attempting to elude a police officer, along with misdemeanor charges of fourth-degree assault, resisting arrest and obstructing a law enforcement officer.
