Joseph de Soto, 61, a newly elected delegate for West Virginia's House of Delegates, was arrested on charges of making terroristic threats against fellow lawmakers.
The authorities did not divulge the specifics of the threats, but they suggest that de Soto's distress stemmed from his removal from the Republican Party and subsequent expulsion from its caucus.
State authorities have made it clear that threats intended to intimidate or coerce West Virginia legislators will not be tolerated, highlighting the serious nature of de Soto's actions.
The incident raises concerns about political tensions and behavior, particularly within government discussions where such threats could undermine democratic processes.
