A inmate at U.S. Penitentiary at Atwater was sentenced to 10 years in prison for threatening to kill the family of the prosecutor who previously secured his conviction in another case on Monday.

A jury found Stanislav Yelizarov, 36, guilty of the offense on Oct. 31, 2025, U.S. Attorney Eric Grant announced.

Telizarov’s sentence will run consecutively to his existing term.

According to court documents and evidence, Yelizarov threatened to kill the “whole family” of an Assistant U.S. Attorney on a recorded prison telephone line.

The Assistant U.S. Attorney who was threatened previously prosecuted him in the District of Maryland. Yelizarov also sent threatening letters to the prosecutor and several judges.
