TENNESSEE<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Federal officials took a Murfreesboro, Tennessee, man into custody Friday morning after a criminal complaint was issued charging him with threatening to murder U.S. Senator Mazie Hirono and U.S. Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both represent Hawaii.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Agents arrested Keahiokahouna Stewart<\/strong>, 36, at his Murfreesboro home this morning without incident. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the criminal complaint, beginning in August and continuing through Sept. 12, Stewart sent threatening emails and posted threatening videos to Instagram accounts, which he created.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

In an email dated on Aug. 19, Stewart specifically indicates that he will fly from Nashville to Honolulu, Hawaii, on Nov. 1, with the intent to shoot people at the Princess Jonah Federal Building. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The specific targets of these threats were\u00a0Hirono and Gabbard.<\/span><\/p>\n

The complaint outlines that beginning in November 2013, Stewart sent a series of \u201cGrievances\u201d to various U.S. officials and departments, including President Barack Obama, Senator Hirono and Congresswoman Gabbard, inquiring about Stewart\u2019s social security number.\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Stewart falsely believed that his social security number had been duplicated and issued to a fellow soldier he met while stationed at Camp Stanley in Korea, in 2002.\u00a0 In subsequent correspondence to the Social Security Administration and Department of Defense, Stewart demands he be awarded 100 percent disability and $50 billion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stewart\u2019s actions continued to be investigated by law enforcement including a May 2015 visit to Senator Hirono\u2019s office in Washington, D.C., which resulted in the U.S. Capitol Police being called, according to officials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In subsequent Facebook and Instagram posts, Stewart continued to post comments about the issue and display photos of himself with firearms. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In an Instagram video posted by Stewart on Sept. 8, he states that he is flying to Honolulu on Nov. 1, and will be traveling with an AR-15 and two handguns.\u00a0 Stewart further states that he has already shipped a silencer for one of the handguns and that it is stored in a garage in Waianae, Hawaii.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Investigators recently determined that Stewart had purchased an airline ticket to travel from Nashville to Honolulu on Nov. 1, however it had been \u201cexchanged,\u201d which would allow the ticket holder to travel on any other date.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If convicted, officials said Stewart faces up to 10 years in prison on the charge of threatening to murder a U.S. official and up to five years in prison on the charge of communicating threats through interstate commerce.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
