A New Hampshire man has been charged with threatening to assault, kidnap, or murder an unnamed US senator. Brian Landry, 66, allegedly left a threatening message on the voicemail of the senator's field office on May 17, claiming he was a 'veteran sniper.'
Brian Landry, a 66-year-old from Franklin, New Hampshire, allegedly left a threatening message on the voicemail of the senator's field office on May 17. Landry claimed he was a"veteran sniper" coming for the senator and was allegedly upset about the senator blocking military promotions."Unless you change your ways, I got my scope pointed in your direction, and I'm coming to get you," Landry said in the voicemail, according to an affidavit obtained by WMUR-9.
Landry was arrested by the FBI on Friday morning and interviewed Friday afternoon. Landry allegedly admitted to calling the senator, but he could not recall the message he left, prosecutors said. However, Landry said he never actually intended to harm the senator or use violence against anyone else. The New Hampshire man also told a judge that he had a momentary lapse in judgment when making the call, and he has been ordered to have a physical and mental evaluation within the next 30 days. He was also released on bail.Although no name for the senator has been confirmed, Sen. Tommy Tuberville has been holding up the promotions of certain military officers as a protest against Pentagon policies related to abortion.
