A man in Memphis, Tennessee, has been arrested after allegedly sending a threatening email to St. Louis Catholic Church’s choir director, warning that he would “butcher people in that church with a machete” if his demands were not met. Authorities identified the suspect as Zachary Liberto, who has been charged with terrorism charges and is being held on a $200,100 bond.

According to court records, the email stated, “I need a video of [the complainant] getting slapped by you in 24 hours before I butcher people in that church with a machete.”
