A Las Vegas man was arrested earlier this month after he allegedly threatened to kidnap, assault or murder a United States senator.
The Department of Justice said 43-year-old John Anthony Miller left several voicemails for the office of Senator Jacky Rosen (D-NV) last week.
Miller then went to the Lloyd D. George Courthouse in Las Vegas, telling officials he was going to see Rosen, refusing to cooperate with a court security guard.
Miller was arrested on Oct. 26, and now faces one count of threatening a federal official.
“Threats against public officials should be taken seriously,” a spokesperson for Rosen said. “Senator Rosen trusts the U.S. Attorney’s office and federal law enforcement to handle this matter.”
From Fox News:
On Oct. 19, Miller left more voicemails for Rosen, including one when he asked if the senator had any family members who were Israeli settlers, suggesting if she did, he was pretty sure she would not make it illegal for them to come back to the U.S.
