A Cottage Grove woman who made online threats to harm Black people, Jewish people and her co-workers and promised to “go out in a blaze of glory” while amassing a cache of guns and ammunition will spend another two weeks in custody before her release on intense supervision.

Elizabeth West will have spent a total of six months and three weeks in custody stemming from her sentence of time served, followed by three years of federal supervision. She pleaded guilty in April to making interstate threatening communications.
