NC man pleads guilty to making threats to Charlotte Jewish organization
He’ll be sentenced in May.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - A man charged with making threats to a Charlotte Jewish organization pleaded guilty.
The FBI arrested 64-year-old Jeffrey Hobgood back in October after they said he sent violent threats to the Jewish Federation of Greater Charlotte, the umbrella organization that operates the Levine Jewish Community Center, among other organizations.
Hobgood was in a Greensboro court Wednesday to enter the guilty plea. He’ll be sentenced in May.
Last month, Hobgood filed a guilty plea after federal prosecutors said he made anti-Semitic threats back in October.

During his last court date, prosecutors said Hobgood also made threats toward politicians and national companies such as Walmart and Spectrum.
His attorney attributed the threats to his alcohol problem and says he is not violent.
