On November 1, 2019, Alexander contacted a Los Angeles area synagogue using his cell phone in Anchorage, Alaska. He left a voice message threatening to kill the congregants and repeatedly using anti-Jewish slurs, the Department of Justice wrote in a Thursday press release.
He was charged with one count of making threatening interstate communications and one count of intentionally obstructing and attempting to obstruct persons in the enjoyment of their free exercise of religious beliefs through the threatened use of force.
