RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Police in Virginia say they've arrested a man who threatened House Speaker Eileen Filler-Corn. Capitol Police said Stephen Hartzell, 23, was taken into custody Thursday in Norfolk.
Police said they investigated Hartzell after he posted something on Filler-Corn's Facebook page.
Police did not specify what was said in the Facebook post, which has been removed.
Several Democratic lawmakers say they've been threatened this year by people upset over proposed new gun laws.
A new Democratic majority at the legislature is in the final steps of passing a series of new gun restrictions. It was not immediately clear whether Hartzell has hired an attorney.
