Jett Avery Thomas Pleads Guilty | Portland News

A 42-year-old man, Jett Avery Thomas, just pleaded guilty to a violent courthouse attack that sent him toward a possible 20-year prison sentence. In 2023, he allegedly hurled an object at the Pioneer Federal Courthouse, then leapt a fence and chased a security officer—leading to two shots fired by the officer in self-defense. Charged with aggravated assault, use of a dangerous weapon, and causing injury, Thomas now faces up to 20 years, supervised release, and a $250,000 fine, with sentencing set for December 16th.
