Threats admitted:

A Tucson man who left threatening phone messages for U.S. Rep. Martha McSally agrees to plead guilty in exchange for probation. As part of a pending deal, defendant Steve Martan has agreed to meet with McSally, who can tell Martin how the matter has affected her.

The Tucson man who left threatening phone messages for U.S. Rep. Martha McSally has agreed to plead guilty in the case in exchange for a probationary sentence.

Steve Martan acknowledged in court last week that he left a series of vulgar death threats for the Arizona Republican in May.

As part of a pending deal with government prosecutors, Martan agreed to meet with McSally, who can discuss how the matter has affected her before Martan is formally sentenced.

The plea agreement calls for Martan to receive three years of supervised release, which could ultimately be cut in half.

Martan, 58, acknowledged making the calls after his arrest by the FBI, telling authorities he was “venting frustrations with Congresswoman McSally’s congressional votes in support of the President of the United States,” according to court records.

The threats occurred on May 2 and May 10 and happened as the House of Representatives successfully pushed through the Republican health care plan on May 4.

In the first message, Martan said, “This is for Martha McSally ... I could wring your (expletive) neck. You need to get back to where you came from and leave Arizona,” according to court records.

In the second message, Martan said, “Martha our sights are set on you, right between your (expletive) eyes” and “Can’t wait to (expletive) pull the trigger (expletive),” according to the FBI.

In the third message, according to court documents, Martan said, “Your days are numbered.”

Martan must undergo a mental health examination as part of the proposed plea agreement and perform 40 hours of community service.
