Court documents say on or about Nov. 10, 2020, Nickels called the clerk of a local municipality and left a voicemail threatening to kill the official.
The 38-year-old, according to court documents, said, “We’re watching your mouth talk about how you think that there are no irregularities. You frauded out America of a real election.”
Nickels told the clerk, “You’re going pay for it,” and described how “10 million plus patriots will surround you when you least expect it.”
He continued, “We’ll [Expletive] kill you. You will [Expletive] pay for your [Expletive] lying ass remarks. We will [Expletive] take you out. [Expletive] your family, [Expletive] your life, and you deserve a [expletive] throat to the knife. Watch your [Expletive] back, watch your [Expletive] back.”
Nickels pleaded guilty on Feb. 27 to one count of making a threatening interstate communication. The FBI Detroit Field Office investigated the case.
