A California man has been sentenced to six months of home confinement for leaving a voicemail in which he threatened to kill Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) in early 2021.

It was not the first time 59-year-old Eugene Huelsman, who is from Thousand Oaks in California, made threats of violence, when he called Gaetz’s district office in Pensacola on Jan. 9, 2021, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
