Kevin Dunlow, age 62, of Huntington Beach, Calif., was arrested on Friday in California and faces up to 10 years in prison for threatening to kill or kidnap someone and for making false bomb threats.

Dunlow is accused of making a bomb threat against the Wake County Sheriff’s Office, threatening an elected official and telling a rabbi, “I am coming to the temple to kill all the Jews and the children,” according to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina.

“Hate-fueled, violent threats endanger the safety of individuals and entire communities,” stated Merrick Garland, the U.S. attorney general. “The Justice Department will prosecute anyone who makes illegal threats motivated by antisemitism or bias of any kind.”

Dunlow allegedly threatened several North Carolina synagogues. He is accused of stating on or around May 7 that “Jews didn’t deserve to live. Jews didn’t deserve to be on this earth. I’m going to kill the Jews. I’m coming to the temple to kill all the Jews and the children.”

The FBI assisted in the investigation. Dunlow will be tried in North Carolina.
