LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A man charged with killing two teens is facing additional charges after authorities say he threatened a judge.

Media outlets report a Louisville courtroom video shows Brice Rhodes on Friday repeatedly threatening to track down a judge and her family. Now authorities say they have filed additional charges of terroristic threatening and intimidating a participant in the legal process.

Rhodes was already charged with fatally stabbing 16-year-old Maurice Gordon and 14-year-old Larry Ordway in Shawnee in May. Their burned bodies were found dumped behind an abandoned house.

Rhodes was in court Friday on separate charges of attacking and injuring an inmate in August and spitting on another in September. He said he wasn’t guilty of those charges.
