Thought it would be a dem when I read: "Man Charged With Threat To Kill Texas House Speaker"

But, of course, I was wrong... when you're more extreme than the Texas legislators... well, you might be pretty extreme.

Beaumont’s CBS affiliate reports:

Daniel Troy Leblanc, 44, is held on a $500,000 bond set by Justice of the Peace Ben Collins Sr. The judge has ordered that if Leblanc posts bond, he avoid all contact with House Speaker Dade Phelan and wear a GPS ankle monitor.
According to the DPS, on Monday, January 15, Special Agents from the Texas Department of Public Safety’s Criminal Investigations Division arrested Leblanc in Orange County following an investigation into threats made against Phelan on multiple social media platforms.
He’s charged with Terroristic Threat, a 3rd Degree Felony. If convicted, he could face 2-10 years in prison and up to a $10,000 fine. He was extradited to the Jefferson County Jail. The charge was elevated to a 3rd Degree Felony because of Phelan’s position as a pubic servant.
