A Monessen woman has been arrested for threatening a Common Pleas Court judge.

39-year-old Precious Gantt allegedly called the judge’s chambers Tuesday, identified herself and threatened to kill the judge and the entire staff.

Gantt reportedly had issues with cases involving her family going back to 2010.

The Allegheny County Sheriff's Office says Gantt made the call from the Washington D.C. area.

She was arrested there on a warrant for felony terroristic threats.

Gantt also has a number of warrants in Westmoreland County including one for a bomb threat at the courthouse.
