He is due in court on Tuesday. It is not clear if he has retained an attorney to speak on his behalf.
Court records do not identify the senator other than to say that he is not a senator from Minnesota who was threatened. According to the indictment, Daugherty left two threatening voicemail messages at the senator’s field office in June. Field office staff contacted the US Capitol Police.

Incident Detail
In his first message, according to a Justice Department press release, Daugherty said: “You and the Republican Party should be proud that you are pushing me to become a domestic terrorist. Have a good [expletive] day; I can’t wait to kill you.” In his second message, Daugherty stated, “I also wanted to point out that, thank God, the GOP is against gun control laws because it would keep guns out of the hands of a volatile, disabled person like me, but you guys are totally against it. So I can get to carry out my nefarious goals.”
The statement went on to say that the senator’s field office staff recorded the two messages and reported them to the US Capitol Police. FBI agents spoke with Daugherty at his Coon Rapids home on Sept. 2. He told the agents that he made the calls because the senator was “doing a lot of stupid (expletive) with gun control” and that he wants politicians to “feel a little bit pressured,” the Star Tribune reported. .
According to court records, Daugherty, 35, was convicted in October 2018 of two felony counts for threatening to set a Pearl Vision store in Maple Grove on fire and harming employees. Daugherty was angry that he owed $80 for replacement glasses, according to the charges.
