Nevada prisoner accused of threat to have judge; family killed, complaint says

A Nevada prisoner is accused of addressing letters to a federal judge in Las Vegas, threatening to send someone to kidnap and torture the judicial officer and “have my people kill whatever you hold dearly first,” according to a criminal complaint.

A federal grand jury indicted Hadari Stallworth this week on five charges of threatening a U.S. judge, mailing threatening communications, false information and hoaxes, court records show.

The 28-year-old is currently being housed in the Ely State Prison after convictions in Clark County crimes.

And he was serving a two-to-five year prison sentence — for robbery and kidnapping — when he allegedly sent the letters to a Las Vegas courthouse and the U.S. Supreme Court in 2022, which were addressed to the judge, who wasn’t identified in the complaint.

Stallworth is accused of sending a letter in June of that year to the U.S. District Court in Las Vegas, threatening the judge with killing their “pets, kids, grandkids, husband…,” the complaint said.

The perpetrator, the letter said, would put a “2-inch cut in your trachea,” according to the complaint.

In September 2022, Stallworth allegedly sent a second letter addressed to the Las Vegas judge, which made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court.

“You… are… dead,” the letter said. “I’m gonna get your houses set on fire with your bodies still in it,” the complaint added.

Using anti-Semitic language, Stallworth allegedly wrote that the judge’s death would be like those that occurred during the Holocaust, the complaint said.

Stallworth is accused of sending two more letters to the federal courthouse in Las Vegas, falsely stating that the correspondence contained anthrax and a blowfish toxin, the complaint said.

Nevada Department of Correction records show that Stallworth has been serving prison sentences for the past decade for crimes in Clark County, essentially his entire adult life.

Stallworth is due in federal court for an initial appearance on April 30, records show.

Nevada signs Wisconsin transfer Imbie Jones

RENO, Nev. (Nevada Athletics) – Nevada Women’s Basketball has signed forward Imbie Jones (Seattle, Wash. / Wisconsin), head coach Amanda Levens announced Thursday.

Jones, a Seattle native, was ranked a three-star recruit by ESPN and among Prospects Nation’s Elite 150 coming out of Garfield High School in 2023. At Garfield, Jones was a two-time state champion (2022, 2023) and three-time All-Metro selection (2020, 2022, 2023), highlighted by a first-team nod as a senior.

Jones spent her 2023-24 season at Wisconsin, appearing in 15 games for the Badgers. Wisconsin went 15-17 on the season, reaching the WNIT quarterfinals.

“Imbie is a great addition for us. We recruited her out of high school and are excited about the length and versatility she will bring to our team. We are excited to welcome Imbie into our Pack,” Levens said.

Jones is the third addition to the Wolf Pack’s 2024-25 roster, joining fellow transfer forward Amelia Raidaveta (Dubbo, New South Wales, Australia / Weber State) and November prep signee Kendra Hicks (Portland, Ore. / Jesuit HS).

Nevada women’s basketball will begin their offseason preparation and host various summer activities for the Northern Nevada community. The team’s annual golf outing fundraiser will take place Friday, June 21 at Wolf Run Golf Club. Nevada will also host three summer camps: Team Camp (June 22-23), Overnight Camp (July 23-25) and Elite Camp (August 2). More information can be found on NevadaWolfPack.com.

$1.8 million for clean energy projects coming to Nevada

WASHINGTON D.C. (KOLO) – Nearly $1.8 million for clean energy projects will be coming to the state of Nevada.

The funds come from the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and are awarded to the Silver State to provide grants to local governments for clean energy projects.

U.S. Senators Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen, who voted for the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law in 2021, had this to say about the funds:

“As Nevada continues to experience the effects of the climate crisis, it’s critical that we invest in clean energy projects that reduce our emissions and lower energy costs for Nevadans,” said Senator Rosen. “I was proud to secure this funding to increase energy efficiency in our state and create clean energy jobs thanks to the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law I helped write and pass. I’ll always fight to deliver federal investments for our state’s booming clean energy economy.”

“Nevada is paving the path to our country’s clean energy future, and this grant will help us grow our clean energy economy,” said Senator Cortez Masto. “I will continue working to support energy efficiency, bring down costs for Nevada families, and combat climate change.”
