Nov. 20—CUMBERLAND — A city man was arrested Monday after he allegedly threatened the life of a district court judge, according to Cumberland Police.

Police took Kamal Shivdev Nayan Datta, 47, into custody on a warrant that charged him with making a threat to injure a state official before he was taken to the Allegany County Detention Center to await an initial appearance in district court.
