Houston man arrested for threatening Gov. Abbott's office over anime, age verification laws: records

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- A man from Houston was arrested and charged after making terroristic threats to Gov. Greg Abbott's office in July, court records show.

According to documents obtained by ABC13, 35-year-old Joseph Roy Ozment was arrested in Houston after reportedly leaving a threatening voicemail at the Office of the Texas Governor.

The court documents show that the threatening voicemail was apparently about anime and the recent Texas law requiring age verification for certain websites, such as pornographic and obscene content. The voicemail to the Governor's Constituent Communications line read in part:

"I don't know which one of you sons of (expletive) passed this (expletive) bill to get this damn (expletive) blocking my (expletive) anime, but you whole (expletive) (expletive) need to unpass this (expletive). Y'all are (expletive) ridiculous with your (expletive) (expletive). My Google account says I'm (expletive) over the age of 18, and your (expletive) is passing these (expletive) laws. I'm a (expletive) stab every (expletive) one of you (expletive). Unlock my (expletive) anime."
