SUBLETTE COUNTY – A Boulder man, Chadwick L. Haszier, is charged with intimidating and threatening by phone or electronic communications to physically harm two Sublette County law enforcement officers on Nov. 14.

The two felony charges filed Nov. 16 refer to intimidation or attempts to influence an officer, in this case Sublette County drug detective Karson Turner and Deputy Brian Gardner, or a witness or juror, with threats of “bodily injury or death,” according to an affidavit from Sgt. Lance Gehlhausen.

Haszier, 28, is also charged with the misdemeanor of telephoning another and threatening injury or harm, records show.

Gehlhausen’s affidavit begins with the Nov. 14 arrest by Deputy Gardner of Ashley Zinninger, Haszier’s fiancée, for alleged meth distribution and possession, with a warrant signed by Turner’s fellow Narcotics Task Force Detective Toby Terrell, records show.

Gardner transported Zinninger to the Sublette County Jail. Her preliminary appearance in Circuit Court is set for 11 a.m. on Nov. 27.

Haszier and Turner knew each other’s cell phone numbers from “previous investigative interviews” and later that day, Haszier allegedly sent six texts to Turner, threatening Gardner, according to the affidavit.

One reportedly said, “I talk to Gardner and only him … I warn you mf.”

Turner did not reply and later Haszier allegedly sent four more texts, including threats to “burn both of you,” “I got a ditch for snitches,” “And plenty of dirt” and “On both of you,” the affidavit says.

The texts came from cell phones that either Turner knew or one Gehlhausen learned was used by someone named “Chadwick,” it says. Also on his Facebook page, Haszier allegedly made public posts that he was “coming for you Brian Gardener” and threatened a man Haszier believed is a confidential informant in Zinninger’s case.

Turner did not reply to any of the texts, it says.

Further, Haszier knew Deputy Gardner “through prior law enforcement action in Jackson, Wyo.”

Each felony is punishable by maximum penalties of 10 years in prison and $5,000 fines. The misdemeanor carries a maximum penalty of 1 year in jail and $1,000 fine.
