Overview
- Shry, convicted for threatening U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, did not self-surrender on Tuesday to the federal correctional facility in Tallahassee, Florida.
- A federal judge ordered a bench warrant on Feb. 18 directing agents to locate and deliver her to the Bureau of Prisons.
- She pleaded guilty in November 2024 and received a 27-month prison term followed by two years of supervised release for a violent, racist threat left in Judge Chutkan’s chambers.
- Court records also detail threats against then-Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee and separate 2023 threats to launch an armed attack on the Texas Capitol, for which she entered a no-contest plea and received a 90-day state sentence.
- Her attorney moved to withdraw after the no-show, and a former federal prosecutor notes she could face additional charges under Title 18 for failing to self-surrender.
