An Alaska man has been arrested and charged with threatening to kidnap and injure a U.S. senator, according to a federal complaint unsealed this week. Arther Charles Graham was arrested Monday in his hometown of Kenai, Alaska, in connection with one criminal count. He is being held in Anchorage and has a detention hearing set for Friday. No lawmaker was named in the court documents, but the unsealed filings refer to the senator as “she.” Republican Sen.
” An FBI agent said in court documents that a subpoena for the email listed in the submission form on the website led investigators to Graham, who had allegedly used a different phone number and address in his message to the senator. Court documents state that Graham also 'admitted' this month to sending the email to the senator during an interview at his home with investigators. A court document unsealed Tuesday did not list an attorney for Graham.
