After 'pizza doxing' Tampa judges, man gets nearly 2 years in prison

Jonathan Mark Miller admitted sending pizza orders to the homes of two judges. The case is seen as part of a rise in threats against the judiciary.

One afternoon last spring, someone placed an online order totaling more than $300 to a Tampa Pizza Hut with delivery directions to the home of a Hillsborough County judge. The order included the judge’s personal cell phone number and, according to a court record, a $150 cash tip for the delivery driver to knock loudly at the door.

A day later, someone placed a second order, this one for more than $200, with directions to the home of a different Hillsborough County judge.

Neither judge had ordered the pizzas. The incidents, which spurred a criminal investigation, were deemed to be part of a phenomenon known as “pizza doxing,” wherein bad actors send large and erroneous food orders to the homes of public officials or other targets.

While it sounds silly, it is very much illegal. It is also, according to court and law enforcement officials, part of rising trend of threats against judges nationwide.

On Monday, Jonathan Mark Miller admitted in court that it was he who ordered the pizzas to the Hillsborough judges. He was sentenced to just under two years in prison.

He would call in huge pizza orders to Democratic headquarters and candidates' offices.

Back then, the Republicans bragged about Nixon's Dirty Tricks Squad.

He needs to be used as an example. It's way too difficult to hunt these dirt bags down, so when you convict one you need to be as harsh as possible. These are anonymous threats to judges and their families. It's no joke. It's intimidation of our Judicial system.
