A Florida woman has been arrested after making a threatening statement to an insurance company that echoed the words found on bullet casings at a recent high-profile murder scene. 42-year-old Briana Boston of Lakeland was taken into custody following a concerning call she made to BlueCross BlueShield, as reported by WTSP. During the call about her denied medical insurance claims, Boston stated, "Delay, Deny, Depose. You people are next."

The phrase "Delay, Deny, Depose" has gained national notoriety, following the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson last week in Manhattan, where those words were discovered on the ammunition used. In the wake of the incident, authorities were on high alert. According to WFLA, when questioned by police, Boston admitted to making the threatening comment and attributed the language to "what is in the news right now," claiming she learned the phrase from ongoing media coverage of the UnitedHealthcare CEO's murder.

The Lakeland Police Department, after being alerted by the FBI, conducted an interview with Boston at her residence. During the conversation, Boston allegedly expressed her frustration by saying that "healthcare companies played games and deserved karma from the world because they are evil," as NewsNation noted. Despite her charged remarks, Boston assured authorities she did not possess any firearms and was not a danger to others.

Nevertheless, law enforcement officials took Boston's remarks seriously, especially in light of the recent murder and the specific phrasing she used, which were believed to be an attempt to leverage the UnitedHealthcare CEO's homicide to her advantage. This led to Boston being charged with making written threats to conduct a mass shooting, or an act of terrorism. Her arrest has underscored the heightened sensitivity to threats against insurance companies and the broader concerns about violence tied to healthcare grievances in America.
