The court filing unsealed Wednesday alleges a Maryland man made an online threat to kill a Texas Congress member.


A felony punishable by a maximum five-year sentence awaits Justin Kuchta, 39, of Annapolis on a charge of interstate communication containing threats to injure.


After surrendering to authorities earlier in the day, Kuchta was expected to make his first court appearance Wednesday in Baltimore.


A court filing does not name the member of Congress whom Kuchta is accused of threatening in a message that said the lawmaker “will be the first on the gallows.” A staff member from the member’s district office in Texas reported the threat to police in July.


“You have the right to your own opinions, but not the right to threaten a federal official’s life,” U.S. Attorney Erek Barron said in a statement.
