November 27, 2017

Pensacola, FL –  A Pensacola man has been sentenced to Federal Prison for mailing threats to Escambia County Sheriff.

Regis L. Walker

Regis L. Walker, 31, of Pensacola, was sentenced to 41 months in federal prison today, after pleading guilty on January 17, 2017, to mailing threatening communications to Sheriff David Morgan of Escambia County Sheriff’s Office.

In June 2016, Walker mailed a threatening letter on notebook paper to the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office, addressed to the sheriff. 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 officers. Walker made specific reference to the 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.”
