Richard Paul, a 68-year-old inmate at Racine County Jail, allegedly threatened to kill the judge in his case after a correctional officer denied him printouts of his court records. The incident occurred on March 25 and was captured on body camera footage. Paul, already held for failing to update his sex offender registration, faces new charges for the threats.
Richard Paul was in custody at the Racine County Jail in Wisconsin for failing to update his information as a convicted sex offender. According to a criminal complaint obtained by local Fox affiliate WITI, Paul became upset on March 25 when a correctional officer informed him he could not receive printouts of his previous court cases related to an ongoing matter where a judge ordered him to remain jailed until trial. He expressed frustration, saying he had an 'indifference' with the judge and was 'about to just get totally belligerent.' Paul also reportedly told the officer that he had 'done told the b— to go f— herself.'
