A Marietta woman is behind bars after an arrest warrant alleges she phoned the Cobb County State Court Clerk’s office last Friday and threatened to shoot government staff and bomb the courthouse if her case was not transferred. The warrant states the caller grew increasingly agitated while talking about an upcoming state court matter. She was booked on multiple counts and remains in custody without bond.
What the warrant says
According to WSB-TV, the warrant identifies the caller as Natalia Alex Seico and says she phoned the State Court Clerk’s office on July 17 about a case. The station reports the warrant alleges she threatened to shoot several types of government staff and warned that the court center would be bombed if staff transferred her case to another office.
Arrest records and dockets
Seico's name appears on Cobb County magistrate court calendars earlier this year, where she was listed on bond and probable-cause dockets that include possession and obstruction-type entries, according to the Cobb County Magistrate Court. Those court documents show she has been involved in magistrate proceedings this spring.
Charges and custody
According to WSB-TV, jail records show Seico faces counts that include making terroristic threats, willful obstruction of a law-enforcement officer, battery against a police or corrections officer or law-enforcement dog, and possessing cocaine. The Cobb County Sheriff’s Office operates an adult detention page that provides information about inmate booking and custody procedures.
Legal note
Under Georgia law, making terroristic threats is codified at O.C.G.A. § 16-11-37 and can be prosecuted as a misdemeanor or elevated to a felony when the threat suggests death or is intended to terrorize; penalties vary by circumstances, legal summaries and the code indicate. For a summary of the statute, see Justia.
Why courts take it seriously
Courthouse threats often trigger searches, evacuations, and multi-agency responses because they pose safety risks and disrupt already packed court calendars. Past Georgia cases and reporting show such threats are treated as serious crimes and can result in quick arrests while investigators work to assess the motive and credibility of the call.
Court dockets and jail records will determine Seico’s upcoming hearing dates. Local calendars will serve as the public record for those next steps.
