Williamsburg arrest made in threats on judges

Posted to: Crime News Williamsburg - James City

WILLIAMSBURG

State police have arrested a New Kent County man and charged him with threatening county judges and a magistrate.

Officers arrested 50-year-old Vincent Rera Thursday morning in Williamsburg and charged him with two felony counts of making threats of death or bodily injury to a person and one misdemeanor stalking charge, according to a Virginia State Police news release. He's being held without bond in a James City County jail pending an arraignment next week.

The release said that Rera's arrest follows a complaint from the Supreme Court of Virginia's Department of Judicial Services. The complaint alleges that Rera stalked and threatened to kill or injure judges and a magistrate in New Kent County in December and January. No other details were given.

It was unclear whether Rera had an attorney.
