FBI arrests Ohio man accused of threatening to kill Rep. Randy Fine, his family
"I cannot wait to take a trip to your lovely home and light the whole place on fire and murder you and your entire family in the middle of the night while you sleep," the man wrote to Fine.
According to a statement from the US Justice Department, 26-year-old Alex Justin Miller from Columbus, Ohio, has been arrested by the FBI. Miller was charged with allegedly sending a true threat to US Representative Randy Fine, threatening to kill the congressman and his family on August 18, the day of Fine's primary election. Fine, a Republican representative from Florida, expressed gratitude to law enforcement and US attorneys after Miller's arrest.
Fine has previously dealt with death threats against him, with three individuals already prosecuted for making threats in the past ten years.
