A Texas pilot has been sentenced after being charged with a criminal complaint after threatening to kill an employee at a charter company he applied to work for.
According to a news release from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Office of the Inspector General, Patrick Trevor White of Waco, Texas, was sentenced to one month in jail, 12 months of probation, and a $25 special assessment by a federal judge on April 8.
The criminal complaint alleged that in February 2024, White interviewed for a chief pilot position with an unnamed company in Florida. He received a job offer from the company, but failed his blood alcohol screening, causing the offer to be rescinded in March.
After being notified that he wouldn’t get the job, White called and harassed an employee for about five days. Months later in June 2024, he called again and left several threatening voicemails.
On July 2, 2024, White left another voicemail stating the following:
“I’m coming for you mother[expletive]. You know what? I’m being evicted from my place residence because of your [expletive] and your actions. I’m [gonna] come after you, you piece of [expletive], and I’m going to knock on your door and I’m going to [expletive] kill [you], OK. Get it? Call the cops. I don’t give a [expletive].”
The harassment and threats continued in several more voicemails until the victim reported them to the FAA and a local sheriff’s office.
