In Spokane, Washington, federal agents have detained a woman accused of making death threats against a federal law enforcement officer and the officer’s family. This incident follows allegations that she used stolen identification from a January riot in Minneapolis that resulted in an FBI vehicle being vandalized.

“Threats against FBI personnel and their families are unacceptable,” declared the FBI Minneapolis office on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday. The statement detailed that FBI agents in Spokane acted on a request from Minneapolis to apprehend the woman, who allegedly left three alarming voicemails threatening the life of an FBI agent along with his wife and child, all stemming from his professional role in Minnesota. The bureau emphasized that any threats against law enforcement or their loved ones will be thoroughly investigated and prosecuted.

A newly unsealed federal criminal complaint accuses Brenna Marie Doyle of threatening the life of a Minnesota-based federal law enforcement officer on or around January 16, 2026. The threats were reportedly made with the intention of intimidating or retaliating against the officer for performing official duties.

Further accusations indicate that Doyle also threatened the officer’s spouse and child, harboring similar intentions of intimidation or retribution linked to the officer’s professional responsibilities.

The complaint also alleges Doyle transmitted three menacing voicemails across state lines targeting the officer and his family, fully aware that the messages would be perceived as threatening.

Doyle was arrested in connection with the Jan. 14 incident in Minneapolis, where rioters destroyed and stole equipment from an FBI vehicle, FBI Director Kash Patel said on X on Sunday.

“This is nearly a dozen public arrests the FBI and our partners have made in connection with the January 14 incident, where rioters destroyed a taxpayer-funded FBI vehicle and stole government property, including weapons,” Patel told Fox News Digital on Monday. “Our teams have responded quickly and professionally in the days since despite a significant number of challenges.

“The FBI will continue aggressively pursuing the violent criminal actors who attack or threaten our law enforcement, impede their lawful operations, or destroy and vandalize government property – not just in Minneapolis but across the country,” he added.

The incident dates back to Jan. 14 in Minneapolis, when Patel said rioters damaged an FBI vehicle and stole equipment from inside it.

The FBI has said several government vehicles were vandalized and broken into that night as agents responded to a reported assault on a federal officer, adding that federal property was taken from the vehicles.

The arrest announced this week follows an earlier arrest tied to the same incident involving Raul Gutierrez, 33, whom authorities identified as a member of the violent Latin Kings gang.

At the time, Attorney General Pam Bondi said Gutierrez was accused of stealing FBI body armor and weapons and noted his alleged history of violent crimes. White House border czar Tom Homan separately said Gutierrez allegedly took a firearm from the FBI.

Authorities said the thefts happened amid protests that erupted in Minneapolis on January 14 following an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operation. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said an ICE agent shot a Venezuelan national in the leg after agents were allegedly ambushed and attacked with a shovel.
