CONCORD, NH — A New Hampshire man has been charged with threatening to kill a U.S. senator, federal prosecutors announced Friday.
Brian Landry, 66, of Franklin, is accused of calling and leaving a threatening voicemail at a senator’s district office on May 17, stating he was a veteran sniper and was coming look for the senator if the senator did not change.
Landry admitted to federal investigators that he called the senator’s office but did not remember exactly what he said, the U.S. attorney’s office said. It is not immediately known if he is represented by a lawyer. Prosecutors have not released the identity of the senator.
If convicted, Landry faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.
