Special agents from the Texas Department of Public Safety’s (DPS) Criminal Investigations Division arrested an Orange man for allegedly making terroristic threats against Texas House Speaker and Southeast Texas Representative Dade Phelan.
DPS reported that Daniel Troy Leblanc, 44, of Orange, was arrested Jan. 15 following an investigation into threats made against Phelan on multiple social media platforms.
Leblanc was taken to the Jefferson County Correctional Facility on Jan. 17 under a $500,000 bond set by Justice of the Peace Ben Collins Sr.
Collins ordered that, should Leblanc post bond, he is to avoid all contact with Phelan and wear a GPS ankle monitor so that authorities are always aware of the suspect’s whereabouts.
The charge of terroristic threat, a third-degree felony, carries a possible penalty of imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for any term of not more than 10 years or less than two years.
