Lycoming County Prison inmate faces charges after allegedly threatening court staff

Lycoming County Prison inmate George Henry Whaley faces felony charges of terroristic threats, retaliation against a judicial official and related offenses for “sending or causing an email to be sent that stated ‘Kill, Shot Notice” to the county’s clerk of courts and county Judge William Carlucci, it was alleged in an affidavit filed by a county detective on May 4.

When the emails were actually sent was unknown, but the county detective was assigned the case in mid-April.

Such emails or notices are considered “pseudo-legal threats or declarations intended to use ‘paper terrorism’ as fraudulent, nonsensical or threatening documentation to intimate public officials,” it was stated in an affidavit.

Whaley, 64, whose last known address was of the 600 block of Campbell Street in the city, has been incarcerated on other unknown legal matters.

However, he was arrested in mid-September 2024 and jailed on no bail on a charge of obstructing the administration of law for refusing to allow state troopers to fingerprint him at the barracks in Montoursville.

“You will have to shoot me and force me to get my fingerprints and take photos of me,” he allegedly told the troopers. The disposition of this case was unknown Wednesday night.

Starting at $2.99/week.
