MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (WKRN) — A Murfreesboro, Tennessee woman has been charged after allegedly threatening to kill Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN).

A press release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Tennessee states that 22-year-old Penelope R. Convertino allegedly left a threatening voicemail at Blackburn’s Nashville satellite office on May 30.

“My name is mother***** and I’m gonna kill Marsha Blackburn. I’m gonna shoot her with a gun. I’m gonna blow up her head on national TV,” the voicemail said, according to the release. “She will literally have brains splattered behind her because she will not be a person. She will be a dead f****** body.”

Convertino was arrested by FBI agents Thursday and charged with making a threat to murder a federal official with the intent to impede, intimidate and interfere with Blackburn while Blackburn was engaged in performing her official duties.

“Our public officials should be able to do their jobs without receiving vile death threats,” Acting U.S. Attorney Robert E. McGuire said, per the release. “Threatening public officials with deadly violence cannot and will not be tolerated. We will not hesitate to hold those who make these kinds of violent threats accountable for their crimes.”

If Convertino is convicted, she could face a maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison as well as a $250,000 fine.

News Channel 11’s sister station in Nashville reached out to Blackburn’s office and received the following statement about Thursday’s arrest: “Threats against the life of any public official are unacceptable and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent. I am grateful to law enforcement and federal prosecutors in the Middle District of Tennessee for taking this threat seriously and for their swift action. My focus remains on serving the people of Tennessee, and I will not be intimidated or deterred by those who seek to silence me.”
