PORTLAND (NEWS CENTER Maine)-- In a statement from the office of Senator Susan Collins Sunday, Collins said, "While law enforcement officials have asked that I not comment on the specific charges, let me take this opportunity to express my deep appreciation for the professionalism and extraordinary responsiveness of federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies to threats against me, my family, and my staff".
An arrest of a New York man, Ronald DeRisi, for threatening Collins and another GOP senator was made on Friday.
