Live Briana Boston. (Provided by Lakeland Police Department) WASHINGTON (TNND) — A Florida woman has been charged after allegedly threatening a healthcare company using a phrase eerily similar to those carved into bullets used to shoot and kill UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. The phone call was recorded and given to Lakeland police by the FBI. During the call, Boston was heard saying "Delay, deny, depose. You people are next." Those words were found carved on the bullets used to fatally shoot Thompson in New York City on Dec. 4. Since then, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione has been arrested in connection to the killing and has allegedly expressed his discontent with the healthcare industry in a manifesto.

"This information was released to the media and became a nationally recognized phrase directed against insurance companies." Lakeland Police then made contact with Boston at her home. When asked if she used the words during her phone call, Boston "acknowledged she said it and apologized." She said she used the phrase because "it's what is in the news right now." The woman told officers she did not own any firearms and was "not a danger to anyone." Boston further stated the healthcare companies played games and deserved karma from the world because they are evil," the report said. Based on the statements and current events, officers believed there was probable cause to arrest Boston and believed the statements were meant to threaten the company by using the CEO's death "to her advantage." Boston is charged with one count "Written Threat to Kill or Injure- Conduct a mass shooting or an act of terrorism." According to the Polk County Jail records, Boston remains detained with bail set at $100,000.">
