Biography
Bethany Abigail Terrill, of Malden, Massachusetts, was charged with threatening a United States official. An FBI affidavit filed on October 9, 2025 alleges that she intervened while federal agents made an immigration arrest outside the Malden District Court in Medford on September 29, 2025 and threatened the agents. The affidavit describes her being physically restrained and handcuffed during that encounter. It also records her denial of making threatening statements. She was subsequently released on bail pending trial; the affidavit itself does not establish the later jail-admission or release dates, a conviction, or a sentence.
Affidavit filing and custody limits
The FBI affidavit supporting the complaint and arrest application was filed and attested on October 9, 2025. It concerns an encounter outside the Malden District Court in Medford on September 29, 2025 and alleges a violation of 18 U.S.C. 115(a)(1)(B). The agent describes Terrill being handcuffed that day but supplies no jail-booking, transfer, release or detention-duration record. That encounter is not treated as uninterrupted imprisonment through the later October arrest. The affidavit also records Terrill denying threatening statements; its allegations are not a conviction. The existing October custody dates are not independently verified by this document. October 16 should not be mistaken for the filing date printed on this affidavit.
