Ohio’s husband sent threats and said he had etched bullets with the names of people, says USA

A man from Ohio who has sent dozens of threatening messages to 34 people in the last 10 months, including politicians and members of law enforcement, is confronted with criminal prosecution of Cyberstalking and making threats, said federal prosecutors on Friday.

The man, Ronald Lidderdale, sent 65 letters and e -mails, including some in which he said he would send the recipients bullets with their names on it or said he was willing to kill them.

Mr. Midderdale, 39, who was described by officials as from Central -Hio, was arrested on Friday and appeared in the federal court to make accusations to making interstate communication with a threat to kidnapping or injury, imminent communication, false information and hoaxes and cyber stalking.

This week he admitted to the Federal Bureau of Investigation Agents that he sent the letters and e -mails that were planning to arouse fear “with the aim of changing behavior,” said public prosecutors.

Some of the letters he sent contained a white powder that he claimed in writing that he was the deadly poison Ricin said officers of Justice. The authorities did not say what the powder was.

At least one of his letters was sent with a bullet with the surname of a civil servant who was etched with a screwdriver.

The goals of the messages were not publicly identified. The letters contain return addresses with different names of people in Columbus, Ohio.

Last week the Lord sent Ledderdale letters with a hit list of eight goals that he said he would kill in May, according to judicial documents.

It was unclear from judicial information whether Mr. Midderdale had a lawyer.

In the messages, according to officers of Justice, the Lord used Midderdale threatening language and recipients warned that they would “receive the gift from their names on a single bullet” and that “their skull is the target that the bullet is the gift.”

In other reports, the Lord Midderdale said to the recipients: “I will kill you for your ignorant loyalty to your pedophile party,” adding that he would kill them “for the well -being of the people”.

“You will die when you expect the least,” he wrote in one message.

It was unclear whether the LORD pointed Midderdale at a certain political party.

He also sent threats to news around Columbus. Sometimes the Lord Midderdale sent several letters in one day, including 10, which he sent on January 17, said judicial documents.

According to judicial documents, federal researchers have traced online communication to Mr. Midderdale. They then found surveillance images of Mr. Liddale in post offices in Columbus, where some of the threatening letters were tailored to the days that they were emailed.

On May 1, an online user sent the National Threat Operations Center of the FBI using the agency’s online portal and said they wanted to kill Ohio’s politicians and that the patience of the messenger was up.

The message comes from an iPhone that was associated with Mr Liddersal, according to judicial documents.

Agents responded to that message and offered to meet the sender, who agreed to call them on 8 May. The sender called and then agreed to drive to the FBI Field Office in Columbus.

Mr. Midderdale showed up by driving the Hyundai Elantra that was observed in connection with the threats sent from the post offices. He admitted that he had sent the threatening letters, according to judicial documents.
