Ever heard of a prosecutor attempting to throw someone in jail with a life sentence over a person licking an envelope shut? Well now you have. This is 2021 and Joe Biden is in the White House, after all.
A Michigan prosecutor is pushing a life sentence for Peter Trzos, who returned his absentee ballot in person in November. According to Keego Harbor city clerk Tammy Neeb, that he led her “to believe he has infected her with COVID-19.”
Breitbart reports:
According to Trzos, he did not trust his ballot would be returned in time via the mail system, so he delivered it himself to the city hall. He also did not trust Neeb “because of their differing political beliefs,” and wanted to feed the ballot into the machine himself.
“The envelope wasn’t licked. It wasn’t sealed closed. And Mr. Trzos didn’t want to lick the ballot, but this clerk made him remove his mask to lick the ballot,” said his attorney, Nicholas Somberg.
Trzos added, “And I’m supposed to remove my mask and lick an envelope that someone else has handled just to turn it in? If anything I am the one who was threatened.”
Via WXYZ:
The police report says Trzos made a “deliberate facial/mouth motion of building up saliva in his mouth.” That he “vigorously licked the ballot” and “forcefully put it in the city clerk’s hand.”
Trzos attorney, Somberg, said his client “allegedly made some sort of joke about COVID being on the ballot or him getting COVID because of him doing what they told him to do.”
But the clerk wasn’t laughing. She called her husband telling him to “stay at their secondary home as a precaution,” according to her statement. She feared she had been exposed to a highly contagious and potentially deadly virus.
Trzos then reportedly told Neeb, “Here’s some Covid for you,” and was therefore charged with “falsely claiming to expose someone to a harmful biological substance.”
This isn’t Trzos first rodeo though. He has been convicted three times before for marijuana related charges. That is part of the reason McDonald was pushing for life in prison.

Native American Tribe Condemns Biden Administration’s Secretarial Order
On Thursday, January 21, the day after President Joe Biden’s inauguration, a Native American tribe issued a blistering letter to Biden’s Acting Secretary of the Interior, Scott de la Vega, blasting his Secretarial Order No. 3395. As Energy In Depth reports, the Order “temporarily suspends delegations of authority regarding leasing and permitting on federal lands, with a significantly reduced staff able to approve such items. This order does not halt leasing or existing development, and at its face is a temporary measure, but is certain to create bottlenecks that last well-beyond the 60-day limit on the order.”
De la Vega started serving on January 21, and will remain in an interim capacity until Biden’s nominee, Deb Haaland, is confirmed. The Department of the Interior defended Order No. 3395 by writing, “The Order does not impact existing ongoing operations under valid leases and does not preclude the issuance of leases, permits and other authorizations by those specified. In addition, any actions necessary in the event of an incident that might pose a threat to human health, welfare, or safety will continue.”
