A 47 year old Fort Dodge man has been charged with sending a threatening letter to Governor Terry Branstad.
Jerry Springsteen was arrested Monday.
The letter was sent back on October 18th.
Reports show the letter included a line that said Springsteen had "A clear shot" at the Governor and said Branstad was a walking dead man.
Court documents say Springsteen told an investigator that he wrote the letter to get Branstad's attention.
Springsteen remains in custody.
