A former Voice of America worker and part-time police officer was apprehended on Thursday after allegedly issuing ongoing death threats against Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., and her family over almost two years.

Seth Jason, a 64-year-old Maryland resident, was taken into custody by the United States Capitol Police (USCP) and is charged with a four-count indictment. These charges include influencing a federal official by threatening a family member, making threats against a federal official, engaging in interstate communications with a threat to kidnap or harm, and engaging in anonymous telecommunications harassment.

Police also seized a laptop, several telephones, an iPad and multiple thumb drives.

During a press briefing on Thursday, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro stated that the threats occurred “repeatedly and continuously” from October 2023 until the end of January this year.

U.S. Capitol Police Chief Mike Sullivan said the view of threats against lawmakers has changed since former Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, were killed in their Minnesota home.

The suspect in the Hortman murders, Vance Boelter, also allegedly shot Minnesota state senator John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette, on the same morning.

“We are going to work very, very hard to hold you accountable if you make these threats,” Sullivan said.

Jason, who was a volunteer reserve officer with the Anne Arundel County Police Department, is no longer associated with the agency, a spokesperson told Fox News Digital.

Pirro said there is no reason to believe Jason was involved in prior swatting incidents reported by Greene.
