The calls “were made from various phone lines connected to studios and control rooms at Voice of America headquarters,” the feds said of the government-funded broadcast network “where Jason had worked as a longtime employee,” with the final call in January.
“I’m looking forward to your book signing. We are all armed and ready to take care of you,” he allegedly said in one, according to prosecutors.
“We’re coming after you and your staff, and we are locked and loaded. We’re going to take you all out,” the call continued.
“We’ve got our AK-47s. You’re going to get one between the eyes. Bam, bam, bam.”
Jason, 64, of Edgewater, Md., was arrested early Thursday by US Capitol Police as well as the Anne Arundel Police Department — where he had worked as a volunteer reserve officer since 2016.
The Anne Arundel department said one of its volunteers was arrested, while saying is no longer affiliated with the department.
Jason began working at the VOA in 2001, according to his LinkedIn. It is not immediately clear when his job ended. However, the last call from the HQ was in January.
Interim US Attorney for the District of Columbia, Jeanine Pirro, said the threats were made “repeatedly and continuously.”
“You threaten a public official, and you face the full force of the law crushing down on you,” she warned. “There will be no mercy and no excuses.”
Jason was indicted on four charges for influencing a federal official by threatening a family member, influencing a federal official by threat, interstate communications with a threat to kidnap or injure, and anonymous telecommunications harassment, according to his arrest warrant.
He has been in custody since Thursday, court records indicate.
The VOA didn’t immediately respond to the Post for a request for comment.
