Woman Accused of Making Threats
- Share via
A Redondo Beach woman was arrested Tuesday on federal charges of sending menacing letters to a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge, including one that threatened to bomb his courthouse and another warning that his daughter and grandson would be “hung or dragged from a truck” by white supremacists.
Mimi Villegas Galdi, 35, a former dental assistant, was taken into custody by FBI agents at her home without incident.
Most of the alleged threats were directed at Judge William Beverly Jr., who is assigned to the court’s appellate division in downtown Los Angeles.
Authorities said Beverly had dismissed Galdi’s complaint against a court commissioner in Torrance who had previously enjoined her from contacting former co-workers at a dental clinic.
