In November 2020, Hoeffer called another congresswoman, this time in New York. Hoeffer told her that he would “rip her head off” and cautioned her to sleep with one eye open, according to allegations made by prosecutors.
If convicted, Hoeffer faces a total of up to 15 years in prison. Hoeffer pled not guilty during the arraignment. His trial is set to start during the two-week period beginning January 18, 2022.
