The call was then transferred to a supervisor and it was flagged in their system, state police said.
The supervisor gave the trooper the suspect’s name and reported that the man had recently been arrested and he was upset with the judge who signed the arrest warrant application for his arrest.
The judge was then notified about the threat, state police said.
