WASHINGTON (NEWSnet/AP) — A Utah man has been charged with threatening a Palestinian rights organization in Washington.

Kevin Brent Buchanan, 62, called the unidentified group at least five times in three days and left profanity-laced messages such as “You’re the enemy,” “you’re being tracked” and “dead person walking,” prosecutors wrote in court documents.

The organization reported the messages with the help of another anti-discrimination group. FBI agents tracked the phone number and linked it back to Buchanan.

Buchanan was charged with making an interstate threat, which is punishable by a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
