Briana Boston Arrested for Threatening BlueCross BlueShield, Held on $100,000 Bond
Dec 12, 2024, 11:33 PM
Briana Boston, a 42-year-old woman from Lakeland, Florida, was arrested on December 10 after allegedly making threats against BlueCross BlueShield during a call regarding denied medical insurance claims. The FBI alerted the Lakeland Police Department about the call, where Boston reportedly ended the conversation with the words, 'Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next,' a phrase linked to the recent murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The words 'deny,' 'defend,' and 'depose' were found on the bullet casings at the scene of Thompson's murder, and Boston's use of similar language raised concerns. She admitted to using the phrase, citing its presence in current news, and expressed frustration with healthcare companies, claiming they 'deserve karma' for playing games with claims. Despite claiming she did not own any firearms and posed no danger, Boston was charged with threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism and is being held on a $100,000 bond. Lakeland Police Chief Sam Taylor emphasized the seriousness of the threat, while Boston's attorney, Jim Headley, argued for her release on recognizance, highlighting her lack of criminal history.
