Judge Gets Threats District Court Judge Joe Dupree confirmed Tuesday that Fayetteville authorities are investigating three anonymous phone calls made Monday and Tuesday this week in which threats were detailed against Dupree's life. Extra police ringed Dupree's courtroom Tuesday after the latest threat was received Tuesday morning. Dupree said a caller Tuesday warned that Dupree "would be shot when he convened court this morning". Dupree said the first call was received Monday while he was away from the Cumberland county courthouse during the noon recess. The judge said he was notified at a nearby cafeteria that a call had been placed to the courthouse and (he caller warned that Dupree would be "shot somewhere between the cafeteria and the courthouse." Dupree said shortly thereafter another call was received at the Fayetteville Police Department switchboard warning that Dupree would be shot near the courthouse, on his way to his car in the parking lot, or else on his trip back to his home in Raeford. Dupree was reluctant to discuss the reported threats and said he did not want the incidents publicized. "I've been a target since 1950 when I first put on a gun and badge as a highway patrolman", Dupree said Tuesday. "Any law enforcement official, or public official, is going to be a target if he is doing his job. If he isn't, he isn't doing a damn thing", the judge continued. Dupree, a former state trooper, has been a judge since 1965. The threats made this week are the first since he has been on the bench, he said. Dupree confirmed that he has been offered police protection and special escorts since the threats, but he declined to discuss any extra precautions taken. "I've been offered all kinds of police protection, but I'm not sleeping with a police officer. I'd rather sleep with my wife", Dupree said. Dupree theorized a disgruntled defendant who appeared before Dupree in court may be behind the death threats. New Books!
