DUBLIN — A Bay Area woman has been charged with violating her parole for allegedly making written threats to kill “judges, district attorneys, government officials, Alameda County Sheriff deputies, parole agents and family members,” court records show.
The 50-year-old woman is due in court Friday for a parole revocation hearing. She has been in Santa Rita Jail in Dublin since Nov. 30, when she was arrested on suspicion of violating parole by making threats, her second alleged parole violation since she was released from an 11-year prison sentence in 2022, court records show.
The case started on Oct. 10, with the discovery of a letter written to a person who was incarcerated at Santa Rita Jail, in which the 50-year-old woman allegedly referenced the death of Alameda County sheriff’s Deputy Sadie Divine, and talked about another inmate who’d been convicted of threatening to kill Divine in 2016. The woman allegedly followed up that letter with an email to Sheriff Yesenia Sanchez, which referred to her and other sheriff employees as “monsters.”
“Also, I have to go kill my mom and so-called brother for all the years they raped me and destroyed my life because MONSTERS are violating my constitutional rights,” the letter said. Authorities later learned that another deputy had taken a restraining order out on the 50-year-old woman for repeatedly making aggressive, unwanted sexual advances, authorities said.
Other threatening letters were directed at county judges, deputy district attorneys and other government officials, records show.

The woman was on parole for a burglary conviction, but the underlying allegations were far more serious. She’d been originally charged with attempted murder in 2017 for allegedly stabbing her mother’s boyfriend in the abdomen, resulting in a colon injury. The boyfriend was later diagnosed with an acute kidney injury and died from an infection that authorities alleged had likely stemmed from the stabbing.
Despite this, the woman was never charged with murder, maintained the stabbing was self-defense and received 11 years in prison through a plea deal, court records show. Because burglary is a nonviolent offense, she was eligible for a 50 percent reduction of prison time with good behavior and was released in 2022.
During the legal proceedings in the burglary case, she was declared mentally incompetent to stand trial and the case was suspended until her competency was deemed “restored,” court records show.
During the investigation, authorities say they learned the woman had rejected her government name and wanted to be known by a new moniker: “Love.”
