A 56-year-old Casa Grande man was found guilty this week of threatening to kill President Donald Trump and former Vice President Kamala Harris, authorities said Wednesday.
A federal jury on June 8 found Rene Ortiz guilty of two felony violations for making threats against successors to the presidency and one felony violation of threats against former presidents.
Sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 1. A conviction for each violation subjects Ortiz to a maximum term of imprisonment of five years, a maximum fine of up to $250,000, or both, and a term of supervised release of up to three years.
