Woman Charged for Threatening Insurance Company: “Delay, Deny, Depose”

Woman Charged for Threatening Insurance Company: "Delay, Deny, Depose"

As a dedicated follower of events, I find myself deeply concerned about the situation unfolding for Briana Boston, a resident of Lakeland, Florida. From the details presented, it appears that Ms. Boston found herself in a predicament that could have been easily avoided – a lesson we all should learn from.

One Florida resident is dealing with legal troubles.

On December 10th, Briana from Lakeland, Florida was apprehended following accusations that she issued a threatening remark during a telephone conversation with BlueCross BlueShield concerning a rejected health insurance claim, as reported by NBC News.

According to an affidavit acquired by the media outlet, the Lakeland Police Department stated that their officers were contacted by the FBI on December 10th due to a 42-year-old individual ending a call that was being recorded with the words, “Postpone, refuse, testify. You are next.

The use of words like “deny,” “defend” and “depose” written on the ammunition used by the suspect led authorities to suspect the individual who is now in custody (Luigi Mangione) for the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City on Dec. 4.

The affidavit noted the similarities between the messages, writing that the words have become “a nationally recognized phrase directed against insurance companies.”

Later on, as stated in the affidavit, Boston expressed regret to the authorities, explaining that she utilized such phrases since they were currently being broadcasted in the news, following her exposure to them due to the UnitedHealthcare shooting incident.

While Boston told authorities she did not own firearms and “was not a danger to anyone,” she added, via the affidavit, “Healthcare companies played games and deserved karma from the world because they are evil.”

Officials suspect that the statements were intended as threats against the insurance company. The affidavit indicates that there is enough probable reason to accuse Boston of making threats related to conducting a mass shooting or an act of terrorism, as suggested by the phone conversation with BlueCross Blue Shield.

According to Lakeland Police Chief Sam Taylor, Boston ought to have chosen her words more cautiously.

He stated, as reported by NBC News affiliate WFLA, “She’s been around for a while now, so she really ought to be aware that such threats aren’t appropriate given the present circumstances. And if you believe we won’t take action and send you to jail for it, you’re mistaken.

He remarked, “‘Indeed, that’s my exact words, but let me clarify, I didn’t intend any significance in them.’ However, once spoken, words cannot be easily taken back.

As an ardent admirer, I’m here to share some insights. In Boston, legal representative Jim Headley spoke on behalf of my cherished woman during her initial court hearing, as reported by WFLA. He humbly pleaded with the judge, “My dear client, a 42-year-old married mother of three, has no prior criminal charges or convictions. I kindly ask that you grant her freedom on her own promise.

Her bond is currently set at $100,000.

I’ve attempted to contact both Boston’s legal representative and the Lakeland Police Department for their comments on this matter, but I haven’t received a response as of now.
