Federal officials arrested a man for threatening to kill U.S. Rep. Stephanie Murphy, who represents Florida’s 7th district including much of Central Florida including Orlando, Winter Park and Sanford.
On Tuesday morning, U.S. Attorney Ronald C. Gathe, Jr. announced a federal arrest warrant and criminal complaint against 66-year-old Charles T. Germany of Walker, Louisiana.
On May 27, 2022, he called Rep. Murphy’s office in Washington, D.C., and left two messages on her voicemail, the Department of Justice reported.
Germany threatened to kill her in one message and made additional threats in a second message.
He could spend up to five years in prison if convicted.
