Woman Arrested For Alleged Threat Made To Insurance Company Over Denied Claim

 A woman in Florida was charged by police this week for allegedly threatening her health insurance company after they denied a claim.

The Lakeland Police Department was contacted by the FBI on Tuesday about the threat that 42-year-old Briana Boston allegedly made to BlueCross BlueShield after they denied a recent claim.

WFLA reported that at the end of the recorded phone call, Boston could allegedly be heard saying: “Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next.”

“Delay, Deny, Depose,” were the same words that an assassin allegedly wrote on the shell casings of the three 9mm bullets that were used to murder UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last week.

The arrest affidavit noted the words have quickly come to be widely recognized as a threat “directed against insurance companies.”

“She’s been in this world long enough that she certainly should know better that you can’t make threats like that in the current environment that we live in and think that we’re not going to follow up and put you in jail,” said Lakeland Police Chief Sam Taylor.

 

When law enforcement questioned her at her home, she allegedly admitting to making the statement and said that “healthcare companies played games and deserved karma from the world because they are evil.”

She admitted to using the phrase “because it’s what is in the news right now,” but claimed she was not a danger because she did not own firearms.

“She readily admitted that, ‘Yeah that’s exactly what I said but I didn’t mean anything by it,’” said Taylor. “Well, you don’t get to pull that back after you say it.”

She was charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism.

The judge in the case set bond to $100,000, citing “the status of our country at this point.”
