SOUTHLAND : Innocent Plea in Fox Death Threats
A woman accused of sending more than 5,000 written death threats to actor Michael J. Fox pleaded innocent today to five counts of making terrorist threats.
Tina Marie Ledbetter, 26, a Westlake Village shipping clerk, denied the charges at her Superior Court arraignment and was ordered to remain in custody without bail.
Making a terrorist threat is punishable by up to three years in state prison.
Ledbetter is scheduled to return to court Aug. 18, when evaluations of her conducted by two court-appointed psychiatrists are expected to be completed. The evaluations were requested by Ledbetter’s defense attorney.
