An Ohio man charged after writing on Facebook that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez "should be shot" told police he was "very proud" that he did it.
Timothy James Ireland, 41, was indicted in Toledo for making interstate threats against AOC in addition to separate counts of being felon and fugitive in possession of a firearm, the US attorney's office in Ohio announced on Friday.
Officials say a concerned citizen reached out to U.S. Capitol Police on July 23 to warn of the threatening Facebook post, which they later confirmed was written by Ireland.
"She should be shot. Can't fire me, my employer would load the gun for me," Ireland wrote, according to police.
The statement was apparently posted to Facebook along with a news story about the Democrat congresswoman, leading Capitol Police to call Ireland on August 2 after finding his phone number in public records.
The man took full responsibility for the statement while speaking with police, adding he was "very proud" of his work, according to a criminal complaint.
Ireland also admitted to having firearms that he "always carries concealed," police say.
An FBI criminal history check revealed Ireland had two outstanding warrants, one for violating probation in a felony case in Florida and the other related to a failure to appear for a possession of marijuana charge in Cook County, Georgia.
Ireland was also convicted in 1996 on four felony counts of dealing in stolen property in Sarasota County, according to the criminal complaint.
The man was present when police raided his Toledo home five days after the phone call, the complaint read. He was detained for the active warrants and admitted to having ammunition inside his house.
Investigators say they found three rounds of .32-caliber ammunition, and four rounds belonging to a .45-caliber weapon, stashed in kitchen drawers.

AS annoying as The Squad (how juvenile) is, they are, BECAUSE they are annoying, God’s gift to Trump.
We need more Real Men like this, who have the hugh cojones required to express hostility toward others on Facebook!
Its really clear that one has to say it in the first person not that some others should do it. But, two stupids (felon with a firearm) will send him back to prison.
And those people threatening McConnell are going to be arrested any second now, right?
Maybe the left should rethink giving felons the vote
He’s jailed, others are free to harass as long as its a conservative
7 rounds.
How can he be guilty of uttering the truth?
______________
That's rather harsh!
How about, with that great body of hers, she do a polite and tasteful poll dance for men's amusement.
Maybe she can raise some cash for her Green New Deal.
;-)
He can join all the Libs jailed for threatening Republicans........ wait a second what Libs were jailed for threatening Republicans?
And Kathy Griffin is still free.

How about, with her grace and that great body of hers, she do a polite and tasteful poll dance for men’s amusement.
Maybe she can raise some cash for her Green New Deal.
“She should be shot”
Is not a threat and is protected free speech.
That was a spectacular plan he devised to land himself in federal prison for posting something on the internet.
Nice work, man.
How many thousands are still free after their death threats towards conservatives?
The media is public enemy #1
Not even enough to fill the magazine on a firearm that uses them.
It’s a law? Then what has no one been arrested for saying similar things about Trump?
“How about, with her grace and that great body of hers,”
Some people are extremely attractive...until they open their mouths. Then, it matters little whether they have a great body. We can no longer see their physical aspects as the danger represented by their thoughts “triggers” our flight or fight response.
Not one Democrat charged for their threats against conservatives and Republican lawmakers!
DOJ and FBI....total failures!
