A California man was arrested and charged on Tuesday after allegedly threatening to bomb a publishing company over its dictionary definitions of the words “girl,” “woman,” or “female.”

Jeremy David Hanson, 34, of Rossmoor was charged on April 20 and faces one count of interstate communication of threats to commit violence, according to a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) news release. He was released on conditions, and his next court appearance will be in Massachusetts next week.
