CONCORD, N.H. – A brutal threat aimed at a U.S. Senator has landed a New Hampshire man in hot water.
Brian Landry, a 69-year-old Franklin man, pleaded guilty on date redacted in federal court for making a threat in violation of federal law, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
The guilty plea stems from a May 17, 2023, voicemail left at U.S. Senator #1’s district office, where Landry threatened the Senator’s life using graphic and disturbing language.
According to the charging documents and statements made in court, Landry left a chilling message stating, “Hey stupid I’m a veteran sniper. And unless you change your ways, I got my scope pointed in your direction and I’m coming to get you. You’re a dead man walking you piece of f***ing sh*t.“
When investigators identified the phone call as coming from a number associated with Landry, they interviewed him and he admitted to making the call, though he initially claimed he didn’t recall the exact message he left.
Landry now faces up to 5 years in prison, up to 3 years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000. His sentencing is set for October 2, 2025.
The investigation was led by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the United States Capitol Police, with valuable assistance provided by the New Hampshire State Police, the Franklin Police Department, and the Manchester Police Department.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Charles L. Rombeau is prosecuting the case, which highlights the serious consequences of making threats against public officials.
The guilty plea serves as a stark reminder that such threats will not be tolerated and will be met with the full force of the law.
Landry’s actions not only posed a direct threat to the Senator’s safety but also undermined the public’s trust in their elected officials.
The community can rest assured that the authorities will continue to take such threats seriously and prosecute those who engage in this behavior to the fullest extent of the law.
