ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) A rural Alaska man who threatened to kill the state's two U.S. senators in a series of profanity-laced voice messages left at their offices in Washington, D.C., has pleaded guilty to making the threats in exchange for having other charges dropped.
Federal justice officials say a Delta Junction man has pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to two counts of threatening to murder Senators Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan, both R-Alaska.
Daniel Baldassarre, a New Hampshire State Police lieutenant, said a German shepherd named Tinsley, first thought to be a lost dog spotted along a highway near the state's border with Vermont, played "Follow me, follow me" to get troopers close to a damaged guardrail where they discovered a crashed truck with two seriously hurt people inside.
