Montana man pleads not guilty to threatening Hawaii Gov. Josh Green and his family
A Montana man accused of making antisemitic death threats against Hawaii's governor has denied the charges, keeping a case about political violence and threats to public officials in motion.
- Eric Lee Boltz, 51, pleaded not guilty in federal court in Honolulu.
- He is charged with sending threats across state lines and cyberstalking.
- Court records say he left nine voicemails at the governor's office last December, cursing and threatening to kill Green and harm his family.
- He is being held without bail while the case moves ahead.
Outlook: A trial date has been tentatively set, and Boltz stays locked up until then.
