A 31-year-old western New York man is heading to prison for tweeting threats against President Barack Obama and Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Brandon Correa was sentenced to more than a year in prison on Monday. The Rochester man pleaded guilty on Oct. 27 to making a threat against the president of the United States.
Prosecutors say Correa posted a Twitter message in June 2014 telling the president that he�s �coming to watch you die.� He was interviewed shortly after posting the threats and told a Secret Service agent the president was �evil� and had to die.
He was released following the threat. But prosecutors say he posted another message on Twitter and Facebook in August 2014 telling the president to �get ready to die.�
