An Alaska man who left a barrage of menacing voicemail messages threatened to kill the state’s two U.S. senators was sentenced Friday to 32 months in prison.

U.S. District Judge Ralph R. Beistline sentenced Jay Allen Johnson, 65, after the Delta Junction resident pleaded guilty earlier this year to federal charges of threatening to kill or have an assassin murder GOP Sens. Lisa Murkowski and Dan Sullivan of Alaska, the Justice Department said.

Each charge carries up to 10 years in prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Alaska said in January.

As part of his plea agreement, prosecutors said Johnson will be prohibited from contacting the senators and their families or staff for three years after he is released from prison. He also will forfeit seven firearms seized from his home.
