Maryland man admits to leaving threatening letter on Biden-Harris supporter's doorstep - Fox News

A Maryland man admitted in federal court Tuesday to leaving a deranged letter on the doorstep of a Biden-Harris supporter in October that said the candidates would be "executed on National Television (sic).".

James Dale Reed, 42, pleaded guilty to a federal charge of making threats against a major candidate for president or vice president and faces up to five years in prison when he is sentenced next month. .

About a month before last year's election, Reed left the threatening letter at the home of someone who had several signs in their yard supporting the Biden-Harris ticket, according to a criminal complaint. .

James Dale Reed left this threatening letter on the doorstep of a Biden-Harris supporter in October. .

Police interviewed him at his home about a week later, and he eventually admitted to writing the letter after initially denying any involvement. 

The homeowner's Ring camera captured James Dale Reed as he delivered the threatening letter. 

Prosecutors said in court that two days after writing the letter, Reed traveled to Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, on the same day that then-candidate Biden was campaigning at the Civil War battlefield, according to The Washington Post.
