Convict threatens to rape judge, bomb courthouse
SALT LAKE CITY — A convict threatened to rape a judge and bomb her Salt Lake City courthouse, prosecutors say.
Norman Eric Pierce, 47, was charged in 3rd District Court Friday with one count making a threat of terrorism, a second degree felony, and one count assault against an elected official, a class B misdemeanor.
The judge he wrote to was considering misdemeanor charges against him in April after police say he kneed an officer who arrested him after Rescue Mission workers said he refused to leave the shelter.
The same judge sentenced him to two years probation in March after he was convicted of attempting to damage a jail, but violated terms of his parole by failing to tell the court where he lived by April 10.
