Woman Charged For Threatening To Shoot Westmoreland Co. Judge
GREENSBURG (KDKA) – A woman is facing charges for threatening to kill a judge at the Westmoreland County Courthouse.
According to police, Tammy Felbaum, 58, of Seward, entered the courthouse just before 11 a.m. on Monday for a civil trial.
"[Monday], about 10:45 [a.m.], Ms. Felbaum walked into the courthouse annex," Westmoreland County Park Police Chief Kirk Nolan said.
Felbaum placed her purse on the X-ray scanner belt and said, "I have guns and an Uzi in my purse, also a rocket launcher."
Surveillance cameras recorded the entire incident.
She proceeded to walk through the metal detector and said, "I'm going to shoot a judge today."
"At that time, my officer approached her and confronted her about her allegations," Chief Nolan said.
Officers detained her and quickly determined that Felbaum did not have any weapons.
"Anytime an allegation, threat is made, it's going to be investigated by law enforcement," Chief Nolan said.
Previously, Felbaum spent 11 years in jail on involuntary manslaughter charges. In 2002, Felbaum was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter in the death of her sixth husband.
James Felbaum died after investigator say she attempted to castrate him inside their filthy trailer home in Marion Township, Butler County.
But Tammy Felbaum has had trouble with the law since her release from state prison. Two weeks ago, she was arrested for public drunkenness after she was found passed out inside a restaurant located in the basement of the courthouse.
She's now being in the Westmoreland County Prison on $100,000 straight cash bond. She faces terroristic threats and disorderly conduct charges.
