SALT LAKE CITY — A grand jury indicted a Cedar City man after he allegedly made threats against Veterans Affairs employees last month, leading one facility to close for multiple days.
Aaron David Kirschner, 48, was indicted Wednesday on one count of interstate transmission of threats to injure and two counts of cyberstalking.
Kirschner was first charged via complaint on March 28 with similar counts, but the new indictment includes alleged crimes that took place more recently. The timeline on the alleged actions that are the basis of the cyberstalking charges runs from March 24 to March 29, with the final day of that range being the same day Kirschner is accused of phoning in threats to a VA clinic in St. George that caused the clinic to temporarily close.
Kirschner was arrested two days later in Iron County.
Kirschner told a person, only identified in documents as Person A, “I will make sure that you never have the opportunity to ignore another veteran ever again, …” according to the new indictment. He also is accused of saying, “You will immediately have any pending police intervention canceled,” and “Any deviation will result in your body count increasing.”
