A man who prosecutors say made threatening telephone calls to a Maryland synagogue is facing an additional charge.
The office of the U.S. Attorney in Maryland says a federal grand jury on Thursday returned a superseding indictment against 65-year-old Stephen Lyle Orback.
Prosecutors accuse him of making multiple telephone calls last year to an employee of a synagogue in Owings Mills, threatening to kill many members of the congregation.
Orback is charged with making threatening communications and intentionally attempting to obstruct persons in the free exercise of their religious beliefs through the threatened use of force.
