Indiana Woman Sentenced for Threatening Rep. Nancy Mace

Indianapolis woman Shayla Addison, 28, was sentenced to 27 months in federal prison plus three years of supervised release after pleading guilty to two counts of influencing a federal official by threat for sending threatening texts, emails, and social-media posts targeting U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace in January 2025, with prosecutors noting a history of similar threats. The case underscores federal penalties for threats against elected officials and the intent to retaliate against Mace for her official duties.
