A Michigan man and his son in Colorado have been arrested and charged with conspiring to send a threatening letter to Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mi.) for his support of health care, the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Detroit announced.
Russell Hesch, 73, of West Branch, Mi., a known critic of Stupak, allegedly wrote the threatening letter and then sent it to his son David Hesch, 50 of Loveland, Colo. who mailed it to Stupak’s office in Menomie, Mi., the U.S. Attorney’s Office said.
The Detroit Free Press reported that Stupak told investigators he had met Hesch on several occasions and he was “historically most vocal and critical constituents.”
