Southern Tier Man Pleads Guilty to Threatening Congresswoman

A Southern Tier man has pleaded guilty to threatening Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

Federal prosecutors say 55-year-old Patrick Carlineo Jr. of Addison was charged with threatening to assault and murder a United States Official, and of being a felon in possession of firearms.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Brett Harvey says Carlineo called the Congresswoman's Washington, DC office, calling Omar a terrorist and threatening to "put a bullet in her skull." FBI investigators tracked him down and arrested him.

Carlineo will be sentenced on February 14th
