A 37-year-old homeless man has been charged with four felonies for allegedly making death threats against Sheriff Christina Corpus.
The man, James Taylor, 37, allegedly made threats to attack and kill Corpus twice while he was being held in the San Mateo County Jail, according to the DA’s Office. The first was written down by Taylor in a grievance form in October 2024, the DA’s Office said. The second was allegedly made verbally and included specific grievances with Corpus’ alleged homophobic text messages.
An investigation into the Sheriff’s Office outlined a bevy of Corpus’ alleged inappropriate behaviors — including homophobic texts, abuse of power, retaliation and an inappropriate relationship between Corpus and former Chief of Staff Victor Aenlle. Corpus has denied sending the texts.
Taylor, who is charged with two counts of threatening a government official and two counts of felony threat, pleaded not guilty to all charges March 21.
So this homeless man is no longer homeless for the near future? Meanwhile, death threats to Musk and Trump are allowed to occur with no charges… Or maybe I have it wrong… Perhaps San Mateo is indirectly helping the homeless man become housed and fed whilst others making threats to Musk and Trump are already housed and fed?
