When given a second chance to speak, Patel is accused of threatening “We’ll see you at your house. We’ll murder you.”
Patel was arrested and now faces over a dozen felony counts.
“Patel is being charged with 16 felonies and is being held on a $1 million bail,” Libs of TikTok wrote online.

During her court appearance where she pleaded not guilty, Patel’s bail was set at $1 million.
The reports indicate Patel works as an economic development coordinator for a racial and environmental justice organization.
