An Alabama man claiming to be "the Angel of Death" has been arrested after he allegedly threatened a California church, both in-person and via email, authorities say.
The Orange County Sheriff's Department announced Tuesday that they arrested 38-year-old Joshua Michael Richardson, who is suspected of sending threats to St. Michael’s Abbey of Silverado Canyon.
According to police, the sheriff’s department was contacted last week about “suspicious, threatening emails” that were sent to the church, allegedly by Richardson. From there, the Alabama resident “visited the church in person and made additional threats.”
Richardson was soon located and detained by authorities. A search of his vehicle found brass knuckles, knives, body armor and high-capacity magazines. However, no guns or ammunition were located.
Richardson was arrested and is being held at the Orange County Jail.
“While incidents like this can feel unsettling, they also highlight the power of community. If something seems off, say something,” stated Orange County authorities.
