An attorney from Long Beach, Mississippi, was arrested last month by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations after she allegedly threatened to kill federal agents while trying to buy a gun and pepper spray.

Lisa White, 70, of Diamondhead in Long Beach, Mississippi, is licensed in Florida. She is being held as agents prepare federal criminal charges for influencing, impeding or retaliating against a federal official by threat.

White was arrested by special agents Sept. 24. Her trial is set for Nov. 16. She faces a maximum of 10 years in prison, a fine up to $250,000, up to three years supervised release and a $100 special assessment.
