A federal grand jury indicted a Houston man Friday for allegedly calling the office of California Democratic U.S. Rep. Maxine Waters several times last year and leaving threatening voice mails, including saying he intended to “cut your throat.”
Brian Michael Gaherty, 60, was charged in the indictment with four counts of making threats in interstate communications and four counts of threatening a U.S. official, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles said in a statement.
The indictment says Gaherty called the congresswoman’s office four times - twice in August and twice in November - and each time left a threatening message.The indictment alleged Gaherty “knowingly threatened to assault and kill” Waters while she was engaged in the performance of her official duties.
After Gaherty was arrested at his residence in Houston, he made a court appearance Monday and was ordered released on $100,000 bond.
