Man Charged With Threatening NPS Special Agent
Kurt Amacher, 46, of Montebello, Virginia, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on a ten-count indictment – one count of threatening an NPS agent, two counts of illegal possession of a machine gun, two counts of possession of an unregistered firearm, three counts of being a felon in possession of a firearm, and one count of being a felon in possession of ammunition. According to the indictment, sometime between January 1, 2006 and March 29, 2006, Amacher sent a letter threatening to murder a special agent with the National Park Service in order to retaliate against the agent for performing his official duties. Amacher, a former maintenance supervisor at Blue Ridge Parkway, was previously indicted in November 2005 for stealing government property, possession of child pornography on government property, and possession of a machine gun. Amacher pled guilty to the charges and was sentenced in June 2006 to five years and eleven months in prison. During the investigation of information revealed in the letters, agents found two machine guns, six rifles, three pistols, a shotgun, and ammunition belonging to Amacher. As a result of his previous conviction, Amacher is prohibited from possessing any firearms. If convicted on all counts, the maximum penalty faced by the defendant is 90 years imprisonment and/or a fine of $1,770,000. The investigation of the case was conducted by the National Park Service and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Assistant United States Attorney Steve Pfleger will prosecute the case. A grand jury indictment is only a charge and not evidence of guilt. The defendant is entitled to a fair trial with the burden on the government to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.
