A Utah man was arrested Tuesday for allegedly threatening multiple members of Congress, calling the Capitol more than 2,000 times and often ranting to staff about Democrats.

Scott Brian Haven, 54, was arrested Tuesday and charged with interstate transmission of threats to injure.

Although the names and parties of the members of Congress are not identified in the federal charging document, it does reveal some of Haven's threats.

In one of the calls he is accused of saying that he wanted to slice the head off of a senator — on that day alone Haven called the Capitol switchboard 32 times. In September 2018, charging documents say that Haven called the office of the same senator and told staff that Democrats were “trying to destroy Trump’s presidency” before saying that he was “coming to hang that f---ker.”
