A 60-year-old Houston man has been arrested and charged after court documents show he threatened to assault and kill Congresswoman Maxine Waters last year.
Brian Michael Gaherty has since been charged with transmission of a threat to injure the person of another interstate commerce.
On Nov. 16, 2022, at 4:37 p.m., court documents show Gaherty called Congresswoman Waters’ Hawthorne office and spoke to a staff member, and said, “Tell Congresswoman Maxine Waters when I see her on the street I’m going to bust her upside her head.” USCP agents then used the phone number, with the help of T-Mobile, to determine the suspect was located in Houston and using a TraceFone, which is a prepaid, no-contract phone, to make the threatening calls.
During the investigation, it was revealed that Gaherty “has a history of sending racist, violent threats to other congresswomen.” In addition to his threats targeting Congresswoman Waters, Gaherty has also called and left threatening voicemails with two other congresswomen.
