A former middle school teacher in Tucson pleaded guilty to making death threats against Arizona Senator Wendy Rogers and was sentenced to two and a half years in prison.

Donald Glenn Brown pleaded guilty to attempted terrorism threats in April and was sentenced Tuesday in Navajo County Superior Court.

Brown is suspected of sending threatening emails to a Show Low store from a fake account on July 4, 2019, according to Arizona reports. Rogers, a far-right Republican, was at Shaw Low for the Fourth of July parade at the time. She represents Arizona’s 7th congressional district, which includes Flagstaff.

According to the Arizona Department of Public Safety report, Brown shot Rogers dead and then threatened to shoot the store.

The Republic reported that in a statement to the court included in the attendance report, Brown wrote that he was “completely and deeply ashamed” of his conduct and did not intend to act on it.

Brown, a former music teacher, resigned from the Tucson Unified School District after being arrested and charged with the incident.

Mr. Rogers and the shop owners asked the judge to impose Mr. Brown a prison sentence instead of a suspended sentence.
