Brian K. Williams, 61, who was employed as the Los Angeles deputy mayor of public safety in October 2024, was charged with one felony count of making an explosives threat. He has plead guilty.

Williams was hand-picked for the role by "woke" Mayor Karen Bass in February 2023 and given significant public safety responsibility, including oversight of the city's fire and police departments. 

Williams sent a text message to Bass and other high-ranking city officials on October 3, 2024, that he just received a call from someone who threatened to bomb city hall, prosecutors said. 

'The male caller stated that "he was tired of the city's support of Israel, and he has decided to place a bomb in City Hall. It might be in the rotunda,"' Williams wrote in the text.

He said he contacted the Los Angeles Police Department, who sent officers to search the building but did not locate any suspicious packages or devices.

Williams showed officers a call he received from a blocked number on his city-issued cellphone that he said was from the person who made the bomb threat.

The call was made by Williams himself through the Google Voice application on his personal phone, according to prosecutors.
