Wash. man charged with threatening Sen. Murray
SEATTLE, WA
Court documents say federal agents arrested Charles Alan Wilson
in Yakima on Tuesday.
An FBI agent's probable cause statement says Murray's office in
Seattle reported the threats, which were left on voice mail from a
blocked telephone number. Agents say they traced the calls to
Wilson's home in Selah, near Yakima.
Murray's office told the FBI it had been receiving harassing
messages from the caller for months, but they became more
threatening as Congress was voting on health care legislation.
Excerpts of the expletive-laced messages transcribed in court
documents show the caller saying he wanted to kill the senator, and
it would just take one piece of lead.
