Briana Boston (Polk County Jail).

Florida prosecutors dropped a felony charge against a woman who allegedly threatened her health insurance company after being denied a claim and invoked the now-infamous phrase “Delay, Deny, Depose.”

Records show that prosecutors dropped the threats to conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism earlier this month against 42-year-old Briana Boston. Prosecutors did not say why they dropped the case but it likely was tied at least in part to Boston’s lack of criminal history and her that she had no desire to actually carry out the alleged threat.

“My client is 42, married mother of three,” her attorney Jim Headley said during her first appearance, according to NewsNation. “Never had any criminal charges or convictions.”

Boston had been out on bond since mid-December and was allowed to go to her children’s medical appointments and school, per an order filed with the court.

As Law&Crime previously reported, Boston’s comments came on the heels of the murder of the UnitedHealthcare CEO.

The FBI notified the Lakeland Police Department on Dec. 10 about a local woman who threatened an employee of BlueCross BlueShield during a recorded phone call. A probable cause arrest affidavit said Boston had called about a recent medical insurance claim that was denied. At the end of the call, Boston allegedly said “Deny, Delay, Depose. You people are next.”

Investigators reportedly found the words “deny,” “defend” and “depose” handwritten on the shell casings from the bullets that killed UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in New York City. Luigi Mangione, the alleged shooter who was arrested after a massive manhunt, wrote a manifesto railing against health care companies.

Lakeland cops went to Boston’s home to interview her. She reportedly admitted to threatening the person on the other line. Boston said she was sorry, doesn’t have any firearms and is not a danger to anyone.

“Boston further stated the healthcare companies played games and deserved karma from the world because they are evil,” cops wrote.

Following Thompson’s killing insurance companies have taken safety measures such as taking down online biographies about executives and hiring personal security.
