New York man arrested for leaving threatening voicemails for Scalise and second congressman

Federal authorities arrested an upstate New York man accused of leaving menacing voicemails on the office phones of House Majority Whip Steve Scalise, R-Jefferson, and another congressman.

 

Carlos Bayon, 63, used the phone in his Grand Island, New York, home to leave the threatening messages in English and Spanish, federal authorities told The Buffalo News. He was arrested Wednesday on counts of making threats across state lines.

 

Federal officials did not identify the congressmen by name Bayon called โ€” instead indicating only their home state โ€” but a spokeswoman for Scalise confirmed the Jefferson Parish Republican was the recipient of one of the calls.

 

"Hey listen, this message is for you and the people that sent you there. You are taking ours, we are taking yours. Anytime, anywhere. We know where they are. We are not going to feed them sandwiches, we are going to feed them lead," Bayon said in a June 30 message left at Scalise's office, according to WKBW-TV in Buffalo.

 

"Make no mistake, you will pay," Bayon added. "Ojo por ojo, diente por diente (an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth)."

 

Gary Loeffert, special agent in charge of the FBI in Buffalo, told the local newspaper that agents seized evidence from Bayon's home suggesting the threats may have been credible.
