Police arrested a 64-year-old Washington state resident for allegedly making death threats against Democratic Sen. Patty Murray of Washington, the Justice Department announced Tuesday.

A department statement said the suspect, identified as Charles Alan Wilson of Selah, Washington, made the threats in phone messages to Murray’s office between March 22 and April 4.

Wilson allegedly stated that Murray “had a target on her back” and that he wanted to kill her, according to the statement, which said the threats were in response to congressional passage of the new health care bill.

According to the statement, Wilson allegedly “told undercover FBI agents that he regularly carries a firearm with a concealed weapons permit” and “also stated that he was extremely angry about the passage of the health care reform legislation.”

Threatening a federal official is punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, the statement said.
