CEDAR CITY — A man who pleaded guilty to threatening federal Veterans Administration workers via phone was recently sentenced to 36 months of supervised probation.
Aaron David Kirschner, 49, of Cedar City, was sentenced in federal court on Oct. 18 by U.S. District Judge Tena Campbell.
According to the court's summary of the sentencing hearing, Kirschner made a brief statement "that he understands his actions caused harm and put veterans in a bad light."
As previously reported, Kirschner was accused of making hundreds of threatening phone calls to the Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Salt Lake City in March 2022, leading to the temporary closure of the facility as well as the Veterans Affairs facility in St. George.
