A convicted bank robber arrested for making threats against the Christmas Market and Granger Homestead Dance in Canandaigua now faces federal charges
56-year-old Michael Kietz of Canandaigua was charged with interstate transmission of threats.
A complaint in federal court says the Museum received emails, at first offering a donation, but then shifting tone, saying death to jews and threatening to bring death and destruction to the homestead's dance and market on December 5th.
Canandaigua Police arrested Kietz on an unrelated matter, and in the process, say they found his email address matched the one that sent the threats.
The feds say the museum lost approximately $10,000 in expenses when their dance was cancelled.
