TODD BERKEY/THE TRIBUNE-DEMOCRAT
Donald Fenton leaves a Cambria County courtroom in Ebensburg
on Monday. A jury could decide today whether Fenton intended
to terrorize an insurance adjustor.
According to Leventry, Fenton
talked about “the government being
against the people and that the peo-
ple would have to take things in
their own hands. He stated that Tim-
othy McVeigh was my hero. He stat-
ed if the government declared war
on him, he’d have to take a body
count. He stated he’d kill until he
was killed. It may not happen today
or tomorrow, but it will happen.”
Leventry also recalled, “He said
he’d kill all Erie employees. He said
Ishould keep my doors locked. I was
, definitely afraid.”
' Afterward, Leventry said that he
called his wife and two children
together to tell them “we have a
problem.” In an emotional moment,
Leventry nearly broke down when
he told the jury that he then
instructed his wife and his 15-year-
old son how to use a firearm.
But on cross-examination, the
adjustor admitted his first call was
not to police but to his manager to
warn him of the threats against Erie
employees. And Leventry said he
took the time to look in the tele-
phone book for the Stonycreek
Township police’s office numbe
rather than dialing 911. .
