The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Friday it arrested and charged a Texas man over allegedly sending death threats to election-related government officials in Georgia.
Chad Christopher Stark, a 54-year-old man from Leander, was arrested by the FBI and has been charged with one count of communicating interstate threats, the federal agency said in a statement. This is the first known criminal case brought by the DOJ’s Election Threats Task Force, which launched in July 2021.
