MEMO
TO: File ~ In Re the Custody of: C.A.M. - Myers and Hartger - Court File
Number 19AVFA15-2677
FROM: The Honorable Ann Offermann,
On February 20 and 21, 2020, Respondent Jessica Hartger sent various emails to
‘the Court’s law clerk, opposing counsel, the Chief Judge of the First Judicial
District, and others. Some of these emails included oblique threats toward the
Court. After consultation with the Chief Judge, | reported these threats to law
enforcement and had the emails sent to law enforcement. These reports led to
law enforcement listing the Court as a victim in law enforcement records.
Subsequently, law enforcement informed the Court that Ms. Hartger was posting
about the Court on social media. Law enforcement advised the Court that Ms.
Hartger’s location was unknown and that she was subject to a bench warrant in a
felony criminal matter. The Court viewed Ms. Hartger’s public social media to
determine if she was making further threats toward the Court or its staff. The
Court deemed this to be an emergency and reasonably believed that no party
would gain a procedural, substantive, or tactical advantage as a result. Any
information learned from social media posts attributed to Ms. Hartger will not be
used to render a decision in this matter. On April 6, 2020, law enforcement
informed the Court that Ms. Hartger was again subject to a bench warrant, her
whereabouts were unknown and she had posted threatening statements related
‘to the Court on social media.
