Pontiac man, 24, set to be charged for threats on circuit judge, Oakland County courthouse

A Pontiac man is now jailed and set to be charged after allegedly making threats to kill an Oakland County Circuit judge and bomb the county courthouse, according to authorities.

Anthony Jeffrey Brodie, 24, is set to be arraigned via video Thursday morning in Pontiac’s 50th District Court on a felony warrant that charges him with a false report of terrorism, which is a 20-year felony that comes with a fine of up to $20,000.

Brodie’s charge stems from an incident in early September in which he told a friend he feared he wouldn’t be treated fairly in a child custody case in Judge Lisa Gorcyca’s court.

Oakland County Undersheriff Michael McCabe said Brodie became enraged during the discussion and stated he would kill Judge Gorcyca and blow up the Oakland County Sixth Circuit Court building on the county government campus.
