Jason De La Garrigue (KLAS).
A Nevada police officer made a "hit list" and hurled "repeated, escalating death threats" toward the people he blamed for his brother's death by suicide.
Jason De La Garrigue, 48, pleaded guilty to aggravated stalking, court records say.
De La Garrigue was an officer with the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department but left the agency after his arrest.
According to a probable cause arrest affidavit obtained by local CBS affiliate KLAS and the Las Vegas Review-Journal, the investigation began in April after the Southern Nevada Counter Terrorism Center received a complaint about threats De La Garrigue made.
The victim said De La Garrigue called him dozens of times and said he had a "death list" where the victim was "number two."
De La Garrigue also told a victim he had "all of the murders mapped out."
"I am going to smoke you," he reportedly wrote in a text message to a victim, along with a photo of an AR-15 and loaded magazines.
The Review-Journal spoke with a victim who described the calls as "horrible" and said he did not know De La Garrigue's brother.
"He'd call us at 1, 2, 3 o'clock in the morning," victim Eric Taylor told the newspaper. "And he'd disguise his voice, wouldn't tell us who he was and then he'd threaten us, threaten our lives."
De La Garrigue's attorney David Roger told a judge that his client's brother was sexually abused as a child and picked on because he was gay, the Review-Journal reported.
Roger reportedly said his client called the people he blamed for his brother's death and their relatives while under the influence of alcohol on April 9. The defendant has since undergone treatment for alcohol abuse and mental health issues.
"He never left his house, he never acted on these threats and at the end of the evening, he sent out apologies to these individuals," Roger told the Review-Journal.
A judge will sentence De La Garrigue on Jan. 11.
