A man has been arrested for allegedly leaving threatening and racist voicemails targeting Delaware County’s sheriff.  

On July 18, 2026, at 11:12 p.m., the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office received a voicemail for Delaware County Sheriff Siddiq Kamara.

“Death to Islam,” a man says in the voicemail. “I will find you. I know where you are. You’re an amateur. You sold your tell. I will find you. I will break you.”

Three minutes later, the office received a second voicemail from the same man.

“Death to Islam, I’m going to find you n—-r, I’m going to hunt you, I’m going to hunt you like I go hunting in Alaska, I’m going to find your trail, and I’m going to snipe you when you least expect it and I’m going to force feed you your intestines,” the man says before laughing.

Investigators said the same man also made multiple calls from his personal and work phones.

After an investigation, led by the Delaware County Criminal Investigation Division and Deputy District Attorney Douglas Rhoads, officials identified 40-year-old Sean Keenan of Havertown, Pennsylvania, as the man who left the voicemails.

Keenan was arrested on Tuesday, July 28, and charged with terroristic threats with intent to terrorize another, ethnic intimidation, harassment, and disorderly conduct. He was arraigned with bail set at $100,000 unsecured with electronic home monitoring. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 7, 2026.

“The words used in the voicemails to Sheriff Kamara were vile, disgusting, and completely unacceptable,” Delaware County District Attorney Tanner Rouse said. “There is a time when language crosses the line into criminal behavior and that is exactly what we have here. Threats of violence, most especially racially motivated violence, have no place in Delaware County, regardless of who the intended victim may be. Every threat is taken seriously, thoroughly investigated, and those responsible will be held accountable. I want to thank Det. Rosen and DDA Rhoads for their quick work making sure this individual was identified and arrested.”

Tuesday afternoon, Keenan’s attorney, Michael Dugan, sent NBC10 a statement on behalf of his client. Dugan claimed Keenan didn’t intentionally target Sheriff Kamara. Instead, he said his client’s wife had received a threatening scam call and that Keenan responded to whom he thought was the scammer because the Delaware County Sheriff’s Office number was displayed on their caller ID.

“We understand why Sheriff Kamara found the voicemail offensive, and nothing in this statement is intended to diminish his feelings,” Dugan wrote. “However, this case ultimately turns on intent. The evidence will show that this was a misdirected voicemail resulting from a scam call, not a deliberate communication directed at Sheriff Kamara.”
