Man arrested in Fargo, accused of threatening US senator
FARGO, N.D. (AP) — Federal authorities have arrested a Fargo man suspected of making threats against U.S. Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, of North Dakota.
A spokeswoman for Heitkamp says it was the Democratic senator who was threatened, but that further details would have to come from the U.S. attorney's office.
An affidavit filed in federal court alleges that the suspect sent an email last month threatening to shoot a senator in the head.
