Mansfield Man Charged With Threatening State Lawmaker
A Mansfield man has been charged after a state lawmaker received several threatening messages, including one threatening to kill him and his family “in front of town,” according to Pennsylvania State Police. The Pennsylvania State Police Political Violence Threat Unit was contacted earlier this month by the Pennsylvania State House Republican Caucus and the Office of State Rep. Jamie Walsh (R-117) about threatening emails sent to his office. State Police said the emails, which were described as “rambling” and “somewhat unhinged,” were sent to Walsh’s office by 63 year old Timothy David Geisler, of Mansfield. An investigation revealed that Geisler wrote an email to Walsh’s office that included several threatening messages, including one threatening to kill him and his family in “front of town,” police said.
