Anne Arundel Co. Man Admits Making Death Threats Against Marjorie Taylor Greene: Report

The Maryland man faces up to seven years in prison for threatening to kill former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, her family and staffers.

ANNAPOLIS, MD — Seth Jason, a 64-year-old man from Edgewater, Maryland, has pleaded guilty to repeatedly threatening to kill former Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, according to the Capital Gazette.

Jason, a former reserve police officer for the Anne Arundel County Police Department, was indicted in July. His sentencing hearing is scheduled for June 18.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office said Jason made a total of eight calls to Greene’s offices between October 2023 and January 2025, and that threats were not only made against Greene’s family and staffers, but also the family members of her staffers at the time.

Calls were reportedly made by Jason on “phone lines” tied to the U.S. government-funded Voice of America, where he worked as a studio supervisor and lightning director.

He pleaded guilty to one count of interstate communications with a threat to kidnap or injure and one count of anonymous telecommunications harassment, the U.S. Department of Justice said.

According to the indictment against Jason, between Oct. 11, 2023, and Jan. 21, 2025, Jason made threatening calls to the Dalton and Rome district offices for Greene. The phone calls were made from multiple phone lines connected to studios and control rooms at Voice of America headquarters in Washington, D.C., where Jason had worked, according to U.S. Capitol Police.

The threats escalated over time, culminating in two threats that coincided with the presidential inauguration in January. Specifically, on Jan. 8, 2025, just 12 days before the inauguration, Jason left a voicemail with Greene's office stating she would not “see the inaugural."

Then, on Jan. 21, 2025, Jason left another threatening voicemail with Greene's congressional office, stating she and her staff “were as good as dead,” and to “make your last will ready, because we are coming after you, and the only thing you’re going to hear is bang…I’m yearning to hear you cry for your last breath.”

In July, a spokesman for the Anne Arundel Police Department confirmed to Patch that Jason was no longer associated with the agency because of the accusations he faced.
