A Florida Woman Used Claude as a Diary. An Anthropic Employee Read It and Reported It to Police

Bonita Springs resident Carli Michelle Heller was arrested after investigators say entries in her Anthropic Claude account — described by her as a diary — included a Sept. 26 statement that she would "shoot up" the Lee County Sheriff’s Office and a subsequent note that she had acquired a gun. Anthropic's automated filters flagged the content, a human review team referred it to law enforcement, and Heller now faces a felony charge of making a written threat of violence with a court date in November.
