New Hampshire Man Pleads Guilty To Threatening Member Of Congress

CONCORD, NH — A Keene State College student has pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to a felony charge for threatening to kill a member of Congress.

Allan Poller, 24, pleaded guilty to a single felony count of transmitting in interstate commerce a threat to injure the person of another on Thursday. In late March, he called the a member of Congress and left a voicemail stating the following:

Hi, my name is Allan Poller, A-L-L-A-N P-O-L-L-E-R, phone number [] 8931. And I just want to let you know, Representative [Name], if you keep on coming for the gays, we’re gonna strike back and I guarantee you, you do not want to f**k with us. We will kill you if that’s what it takes. I will take a bullet to your f**king head if you fuck with my rights anymore. And then if you want to keep going down that path, you know who’s next.

Poller was arrested in early April and admitted to placing the call and leaving the message.

Investigators said he admitted to drinking and left the message after watching videos on TikTok. Not long after the arrest, the press learned the victim of the death threat was Florida Republican U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz.

Poller will be sentenced in January. He faces up to five years in prison and up to three years of supervised release after that, as well as a fine of up to $250,000.
