Texas man faces federal charges for allegedly threatening Georgia election officials
https://www.npr.org/2022/01/21/1074764509/texas-man-faces-federal-charges-for-allegedly-threatening-georgia-election-officA Texas man was arrested early Friday and charged with threatening to kill Georgia election officials.
FBI agents took Chad Christopher Stark into custody early Friday in Leander, Texas. He was indicted in the Northern District of Georgia on one count of making interstate threats.
The case is the first brought by the Justice Department's election threats task force, which was set up last summer to counter the growing number of threats nationwide directed at election officials and administrators.
According to the indictment, Stark, 54, posted a message on Craigslist on Jan. 5, 2021, with the title "Georgia Patriots it's time to kill [Official A] the Chinese agent - $10,000."
In the message, the text of which is included in the indictment, Stark says it's time to take back Georgia from what he calls "Lawless treasonous traitors."
