A Harrisburg man was sentenced after sending death threat emails to government employees, according to the United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania.
Thomas West, 44, admitted that he sent a series of emails to the Office of Personal Management (OPM), threatening to kill and injure employees of OPM and their relatives in February, according to a press release from U.S. Attorney Gerard Karam.
In one email, West threatened to show up at an OPM office “with an A.R. 15 assault rifle that’s been converted to fully automatic,” authorities said.
