PENNSYLVANIA (WHP) — A man is in custody after Pennsylvania State Police said he sent several threatening messages to a Pennsylvania representative and his family, according to a news release.
Timothy Geisler, 63, of Mansfield, was charged with terroristic threatening after troopers said he sent multiple messages to Rep. Jamie Walsh (R-117), including an email threatening violence against him and his family.
In a news release, PSP noted that one email sent to Walsh’s office threatened to kill him and his family “in front of town” on or around 7:18 a.m. on Oct. 1.
The Tioga County District Attorney’s Office filed the charges, and PSP is continuing to investigate.
