An Anne Arundel County police reserve officer was arrested Thursday and charged in federal court with threatening Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and her family.

Seth Jason, an Edgewater resident, was arrested early Thursday by U.S. Capitol Police and the Anne Arundel Police Department, according to a statement issued by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia.

Jason faces one count each of influencing a federal official by threatening a family member, influencing a federal official by threat, interstate communications with a threat to kidnap or injure and anonymous telecommunications harassment, according to an indictment unsealed Thursday in federal court in the District of Columbia.

Federal investigators said Jason repeatedly threatened to assault and murder members of Greene’s family between Jan. 26, 2024, and Jan. 8, 2025.

Additionally, Jason is accused of making threats directly against Greene between Oct. 11, 2023, and Jan. 21, 2025. Prosecutors allege in the indictment that Jason made the threats by telephone and attempted to hide his identity.

Greene is a MAGA conservative and ardent supporter of President Donald Trump.

An investigation by the U.S. Capitol Police found the phone calls were made from various phone lines connected to studios and control rooms at Voice of America headquarters, where Jason had was a longtime employee. In eight calls made over 15 months, Jason threatened the use of firearms to kill Greene, her staff, and their families, according to a statement from the U.S. Attorney’s office.

Jason is represented by Annapolis attorney J. Dennis Murphy, according to online court records. Murphy did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the case.

Anne Arundel County Police, in a statement, said Jason had served as a volunteer reserve agent since 2016. Reserve officers have no police authority and do not carry weapons. The department said Jason, following his arrest, is “no longer affiliated with” the department.
