Man Accused of Threatening DA

A 47-year-old man, Ryan Simmons, faces terroristic threat charges after sending chilling death threats via email to a Bexar County assistant district attorney, including phrases like “You will die by a lynch mob.” The threats, which began in February and were reported in May, prompted an investigation that uncovered his ownership of the email accounts and GPS evidence tying him to the communications. Despite a prior terrorism charge being dropped, prosecutors now believe he’s capable of carrying out the threats, especially given his criminal history. Arrested and later released on $3,500 bond, Simmons now faces up to 180 days in jail and a $2,000 fine if convicted — a stark reminder of the legal consequences for targeting public officials with violence.
