A Wisconsin man has been charged with making terrorist threats after sending an email threatening to blow the campaign office of Republican Senate candidate Eric Hovde.

A Wisconsin man who has been charged with making a bomb threat against the office of a Republican Senate candidate has donated to the campaign of the candidate’s Democratic opponent. Joseph Quade, 72, was charged with making terrorist threats after sending a message to the Wisconsin campaign office of Eric Hovde, warning that it 'might blow up' in an April 4 email, according to a report from the Wisconsin State Journal.

Quade reportedly later told police that he did not remember sending the message, but admitted that he can get 'a little political' when he drinks and there was a chance he was responsible for the threat. Hovde, a Wisconsin businessman, is seeking to unseat incumbent Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis.

Quade faces a maximum of 3.5 years in prison if convicted. His next court appearance is set for May 2.
