Escambia Man Gets Federal Prison For Mailing ISIS Threats To Sheriff Morgan

November 28, 2017

An Escambia County man has been sentenced to federal prison for mailing threats to Escambia County Sheriff David Morgan.

Regis L. Walker, 31,  was sentenced to 41 months after pleading guilty to mailing threatening communications.

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 attack in Orlando 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.”

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 prosecuted the case.

    When you claim alliance/allegiance to a terrorist group and make threatening comments you should be treated as what you claim to be an enemy of the United States and treated accordingly. Wouldn’t it make sense to treat this individual as a threat and avoid a future problem rather than reading about this after he’s committed an act?

    He will serve his forty-one months, then will get out and probably slaughter someone’s family.

    He should have gotten life in prison – he’s a terrorist – an enemy of this nation – he shouldn’t be allowed to breathe American air
