Escambia Man Pleads To Sending ISIS Threats To Sheriff
January 18, 2017
An Escambia County man pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal charges for mailing threatening communications to the sheriff.
In June 2016, Walker mailed a threatening letter on notebook paper to Sheriff David Morgan at the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office. In the letter, Walker claimed several people who had joined ISIS would simultaneously attack military bases, beaches, and schools at a nonspecific time and could not be stopped by law enforcement.
Walker made specific reference to the recent attack in Orlando, Florida, that killed approximately 50 people. Walker wrote that the attackers planned on “not giving up,” and that they “plan on dying.” He appeared to sign the note as “ISIS ALLAH.”
Walker faces a maximum of five years in federal prison. The sentencing hearing is scheduled for April 6 at the United State Courthouse in Pensacola.
This case resulted from an investigation by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation, and the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. Assistant United States Attorney David L. Goldberg is prosecuting the case.

Hold up!!!! Wrong state and definitely the wrong county in Florida to be an idiot…. Our sheriff doesn’t play on your level with threatening games!! We put him there three times for a reason!!
Walker will likely be welcomed in Federal or State prison with open arms of other prisoners.
Prison is a breeding place for converts to the ISIS way of thinking and belief.
Many times the new inmate has some leanings toward these violent militant groups.
Other times the new inmate joins into ISIS Muslim groups for protection and is converted to believe their mission is to murder we who are “Infidels”
These crazies are all around us folks…be alert.
are you kidding me what a complete idiot and who taught him to say im guilty !!!
Welcome to the NFL; rookie.
Make sure he gets at least 5 years to practice his penmanship.
Well, he has the sense to plead guilty, so he is not insane.
