MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WKRN) — A Murfreesboro, Tennessee woman has been charged after allegedly threatening to kill Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).

The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Tennessee has issued a press release stating that on May 30, 22-year-old Penelope R. Convertino allegedly left a threatening voicemail at Blackburn’s Nashville satellite office.

The voicemail reportedly said, “My name is mother***** and I’m gonna kill Marsha Blackburn. I’m gonna shoot her with a gun. I’m gonna blow up her head on national TV,” according to the release. “She will literally have brains splattered behind her because she will not be a person. She will be a dead f****** body.”

FBI agents apprehended Convertino on Thursday, charging her with making a threat to murder a federal official with the intent to impede, intimidate, and interfere with Blackburn while she was performing her official duties.

Acting U.S. Attorney Robert E. McGuire emphasized, “Our public officials should be able to do their jobs without receiving vile death threats,” according to the release. “Threatening public officials with deadly violence cannot and will not be tolerated. We will not hesitate to hold those who make these kinds of violent threats accountable for their crimes.”

If Convertino is convicted, she could face a maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison as well as a $250,000 fine.

News Channel 11’s sister station in Nashville has reached out to Blackburn’s office for comment.
