Woman, 18, used agent's ID stolen during Minneapolis unrest, threatened to kill him and family, feds say
Published in News & Features
MINNEAPOLIS — A Washington state woman used identification documents stolen from a federal agent’s vandalized vehicle two weeks ago during a clash with anti-ICE demonstrators and threatened to kill the officer and his immediate family members, according to the FBI and prosecutors.
Brenna Marie Doyle, 18, of Spokane was charged in U.S. District Court in Minnesota on Monday with threatening to murder a federal law enforcement officer and an immediate family member, and transmission of online threats to injure a federal law enforcement officer.
Doyle remained in federal custody without bail ahead of a hearing in Spokane on Jan. 28 before her transfer to Minnesota for a hearing there on Feb. 9.
FBI agents in Spokane arrested Doyle “after she left three disturbing voicemails threatening to kill an FBI agent, his wife, and child because of the agent’s employment in MN,” said a posting on X by the FBI in Minneapolis.
Also on X, FBI Director Kash Patel said, “Threatening law enforcement will never be tolerated. Nor will destroying and looting government property paid for by taxpayers.”
Neither the FBI nor any publicly available court documents have disclosed how Doyle allegedly came to possess the agent’s identifying documents.
On Jan. 14, in north Minneapolis, agents’ vehicles were vandalized and government property stolen during unrest that followed a federal agent shooting and wounding a man in that area.
That same week, Raul Gutierrez, 33, of Minneapolis was charged with illegal gun possession and theft in connection with allegedly breaking into an FBI vehicle and stealing a rifle.
