Guilty Plea For Southern Tier Man In Congresswoman Threat

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

Federal prosecutors say Patrick Carlineo Jr., of Addison, called the Congresswoman's Washington, D.C. office, calling Omar a terrorist and threatening to "put a bullet in her skull."

FBI investigators tracked him down and arrested him.

He was charged with threatening to assault and murder a United States Official, and of being a felon in possession of firearms.

Carlineo will be sentenced on February 14th.
