ATLANTA — The FBI arrested a Texas man Friday, alleging he threatened to shoot and kill Georgia election officials the day before the riot at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.
It’s the first criminal case brought by a new U.S. Justice Department task force aimed at cracking down on threats of violence against election workers.
Chad Stark, 54, of Leander, Texas, wrote on Craigslist that “it’s our duty as American Patriots to put an end to the lives of these traitors and take back our country by force,” the Justice Department said.
