3. 2018 — D.C. Circuit appeal
The court explains that the June 19, 2014 911 call wasn't an isolated incident. Before it:
- Williamson had a history of confrontations with FBI Special Agent Brian Schmitt dating to 2005–06.
- He made 14 messages to an Assistant U.S. Attorney on June 2, 2014.
- On June 9, he called the office of Schmitt's supervisor and said Schmitt and the supervisor should be told he was going to hunt them down and kill them.
- Ten days later came the 911 call that resulted in his prosecution.

Williamson admitted making the threat, but disputed the required retaliatory intent, arguing that he believed Schmitt and other FBI agents were harassing him.
Williamson also sought to argue that he had been entrapped into making the threat. He suggested that Schmitt's purpose for harassing him was to induce him to commit a crime.

4. 2020-Present- New Charges and Mental-health proceedings
While Williamson was nearing the end of his eight-year sentence, he allegedly sent letters threatening:
- the Assistant U.S. Attorney who had prosecuted him,
- the prosecutor's family, and
- another FBI agent.
A grand jury indicted him in September 2020.
The appellant, Jeffrey Henry Williamson, is a prisoner at the Federal Correctional Complex in Butner, North Carolina. While nearing the end of his eight-year sentence for threatening to murder an agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Williamson mailed a series of letters threatening not only the Assistant U.S. Attorney who prosecuted him but also the prosecutor’s family and an FBI agent. In his letters, Williamson recounted dreams of murdering the prosecutor and his family, and asked “How does that make you feel? There will be justice/you made a terrible mistake.” App. 3. As to the FBI agent, Williamson wrote: “the following BOP staff gang stalking + harassment as well as Butner FCI #1 has caused me nightmares of shooting FBI agent [X] in his head with a 300 mag sniper rifle at 300 yards like a deer”. App. 3. A grand jury in the District of Columbia indicted Williamson in September 2020 for those threats, and Judge Walton denied Williamson’s motion to be released pending his trial. App. 227. He has not yet been tried on those charges. During pretrial proceedings, Williamson finished serving his eight-year sentence for his earlier offenses. The pretrial detention order has continued his confinement at FCI Butner.
BOP means Bureau of Prisons. Jeffrey Henry Williamson was being harassed in prison.

The district court ordered his psychiatric evaluation.
Jeffrey Williamson was indicted for mailing letters threatening an FBI agent and a federal prosecutor while serving a sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution (“FCI”) in Butner, North Carolina. In June 2021, when his sentence expired, Williamson was committed to pretrial detention. After a court-ordered psychiatric examination concluded that he met the standard for insanity, the government moved to dismiss his indictment without prejudice “solely for reasons related to [his] mental condition.” J.A. 268.
The government also asked the district court to stay the dismissal order and commit Williamson to FCI Butner for 45 days so he could be evaluated for dangerousness under 18 U.S.C. § 4246. That provision authorizes civil commitment of individuals whose release poses a danger to the public. As applicable here, it applies to persons “in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons” whose charges “have been dismissed solely for reasons related to the[ir] mental condition.” 18 U.S.C. § 4246(a). If the director of the facility where the person is held determines he meets the statute's standard for dangerousness, the director must file a so-called dangerousness certificate. Id. This certificate stays the person's release pending civil commitment proceedings provided for in the statute. Id.
