A 74-year-old man accused of threatening a Michigan congressman pleaded guilty Friday.
(AP) -- The Bay City Times says Russell Hesch sent threatening emails to Bart Stupak when he represented northern Michigan in Congress in 2010.
Hesch was charged with writing a letter that threatened to paint the Mackinac Bridge with Stupak's blood, because he voted for a health-care law pushed by President Barack Obama.
Hesch could face up to a year in prison.
He will be sentenced December 15th.
