A 49-year-old New Orleans man faces charges after police say he sent emails to Mayor LaToya Cantrell accusing her of committing treason and threatening to lynch her, the Times-Picayune | New Orleans Advocate reports.
John Dorian was booked yesterday into the Orleans Parish jail on charges of threatening a public officials and making obscene phone calls. Jail records show he also had a municipal attachment.
The police report says Dorian sent an email to the mayor's public account on August 18, that read: "It’s time for you to answer for your crimes," and went on to say "When it comes for your lynching I’ll be the first one in line to pull that lever."
This is the second person to be arrested for threatening Cantrell within a month. In September, police arrested 59-year-old Daniel P. Jenkins. Cops say he called 911 and told the operator he would shoot the mayor if his garbage did not get picked up.
