NBC reports that court documents indicate Shry used a racial slur and referred to the Black judge as a "stupid slave." According to a criminal complaint, Shry allegedly made threats towards US Representative Sheila Jackson Lee, an African American Democrat representing parts of Houston in her district (The New York Times, n.d.).
According to the complaint, during the visit to Shry's residence in Alvin, located south of Houston, federal agents were informed that she confessed to making the calls. Shry also mentioned that she had no intentions of traveling to Washington or Houston, but expressed concern if Sheila Jackson Lee were to visit Alvin.
During a detention hearing held in federal court in Houston, Shry was denied bail and instructed to remain in custody for a minimum of 30 days.
