Aryan Nation gang member charged with threatening County judge, federal courthouse from jail phone.
A man identified by authorities as a member of the Aryan Nation white supremacist gang faces charges after police say he made several threats to a Hamilton County Judge, the federal courthouse, and his bonding company — all from a phone at the Hamilton County Jail.
In fact, an affidavit we obtained says 34-year-old Robert Edward Millsaps had no issues with identifying himself to those he called.
In all, the report says Millsaps made 20 phone calls from the jail on the afternoon of August 3rd. After listening to them, investigators say they identified 3 calls where he made terroristic threats. Here’s a closer look, according to the affidavit:
3:44pm: Police say Millsaps made a 45-second call to a woman associated with Affordabail Bonding Company. The report says Millsaps “threatened to bomb an unknown person’s house and threaten[ed] to bomb the Public Defender’s office.” During the call, the report says Millsaps identified himself by name.
3:47pm: Police say Millsaps made a 27-second phone call to Platinum Bail Bonding, in which he threatened to blow up that company’s building. In this call he also identified himself as ‘Robert Millsaps,’ the report says, and he also called himself a ‘terrorist.’
3:52pm: Police say Millsaps made a 27-second phone call to the woman associated with Affordabail Bonding again. During this call, the report says he threatened to bomb Hamilton County Criminal Court Judge Gary Starnes’ courtroom, a United States Federal building and the Chattanooga building the bonding company calls home. During this call, the report says Millsaps said he “forgot to tell [the woman] that he was going to bomb Gary Starnes’ courtroom and laughs and then states he is going to bomb the Federal building” and the bonding company building.
The report says a records search showed Millsaps has a total of 14 criminal charges either pending, or that were disposed of by Judge Starnes between 2020 and now. Those charges include auto burglary, evading arrest, aggravated burglary, and theft of property over $500, $1000 and $10,000 (3 separate charges).
