Trooper Pleads Guilty to Harassment

A Virginia state trooper, Michael J. Pishner, faced serious charges after leaving menacing notes on a woman’s doorstep — including “You’re not safe anywhere” and “F--- Around And Find Out.” Almost a year later, the case quietly concluded with Pishner pleading guilty to a misdemeanor harassment charge. He avoided felony conviction by agreeing to pay $50,000 in fines, complete anger management, and pay $2,000 in restitution. The prosecutor noted Pishner knew both the woman and her daughter, while his defense argued the notes weren’t meant as threats, citing his military background and mental health. The judge sided with the misdemeanor plea, underscoring how complex legal outcomes can be when intent and impact collide — even without a felony, justice was served, albeit in a way many didn’t anticipate.
