A 47-year-old San Rafael man was behind bars Sunday after police said he threatened the life of U.S. Sen.
Barbara Boxer in a series of voice-mail messages.
O'Connell allegedly threatened Boxer in a voicemail he left at her San Francisco office last week. He was
arrested on Saturday.
Investigators tell the Marin Independent Journal O'Connell claimed in the message he was being harassed
by authorities and was in a dispute with his neighbors.
San Rafael police Det. Scott Eberle says the death threat was not related to Boxer's political positions.
O'Connell, whose messages were not described in detail, was arrested and booked into Marin County jail
on suspicion of making threats, a felony. His bail was set at $500,000, and he is scheduled to appear in
court Tuesday.
