Motion to the Court: Kansas Man Charged With Threatening Judge and Witness

Michael Sampson, 41, succeeded in turning a minor driving with a suspended license into a charge of threatening a judge and intimidating a witness — all without uttering a word.

Sampson was in municipal court when officer Sean Wilcox was testifying. Sampson allegedly pointed at Wilcox, then pointing towards his own head as if holding a gun. When the judge intervened, he allegedly pointed his finger at the judge and did a throat slashing motion across his own throat.

He was quickly convicted on the original charges and then charged with four counts of making a criminal threat and one count of aggravated intimidation of a witness. That’s pretty good work without uttering a word.
