ALBANY, NEW YORK – Fred Hood, a/k/a “Taylor Taylor,” age 57,
was sentenced today to time served (about 10.5 months in jail) for threatening
to kill employees and residents of a Massachusetts veterans services program.
The announcement was made by United States Attorney Grant C.
Jaquith and Chief Thomas Gibbons of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs
Police in Albany.
As part of his guilty plea on September 20, 2019, Hood
admitted that he sent multiple electronic messages from a VA facility in Albany
to individuals at a nonprofit veterans services organization, threatening to
commit a shooting attack at the organization’s residence on the campus of the
Northampton VA Medical Center in Leeds, Massachusetts.
United States District Judge Mae A. D’Agostino sentenced
Hood – who has been in custody since March 2, 2019 – to time-served and to a
3-year term of post-imprisonment supervised release.
This case was investigated by the VA Police with assistance
from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and was prosecuted by Assistant U.S.
Attorney Joshua R. Rosenthal.
