A New Jersey man was indicted last Monday for making threats against a New York City Jewish organization, the Department of Justice (DOJ) Public Affairs Office announced on Wednesday.
Newark resident Cameron Patterson faces a charge for transmitting an interstate threat, three emails he allegedly sent in October 2024, threatening physical harm to a Jewish non-profit.
The Jewish group reportedly feared for their safety upon receiving the emails attributed to the 34-year-old man, and notified law enforcement.
The DOJ claimed that Patterson’s iCloud account contained multiple images depicting or referencing violence and mass shootings.
Patterson faces a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.
