Detective Jose Viramontes wrote a sworn declaration that was filed in court this morning, in which he says he interviewed Thomas Brodnicki on October 13th — after he told a shrink he was going to kill Selena — and Brodnicki “reiterated that he had many conversations with God about killing Ms. Gomez.”

Det. Viramontes says Brodnicki made it clear … he wasn’t going home to Illinois until he met Selena.

The detective concludes Brodnicki has made “credible threats” and that he poses a “serious threat to Ms. Gomez.”

Brodnicki wrote the declaration in support of Gomez’ petition to make her temporary restraining order permanent.  A civil judge is hearing the matter right now.

Brodnicki pled not guilty to felony criminal stalking yesterday and the judge in that case issued a criminal protective order.
