Arizona Man Arrested for Threatening Federal Officials

Michael Lee Tomasi faces potential 15-year prison term if convicted on all counts.

Michael Lee Tomasi, 37, was arrested last Friday for allegedly making online threats against federal agents and employees.
Tomasi allegedly threatened a federal judge, FBI agents and elected officials between May 2021 and last month.
An Arizona grand jury indicted Tomasi on three counts of threats against a federal official and three counts of making interstate threats.
At his arraignment Monday, Tomasi pleaded not guilty to all counts.
Tomasi faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted for threats against federal officials plus a maximum five-year prison term for each count of making threats across state lines.
