““Dangerous threats to our critical infrastructure threaten every member of this community and will not be tolerated,” acting U.S. Attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee, Thomas J. Jaworski, said in a release. “We will always work with our law enforcement partners to identify and stop any and all efforts to wreak this kind of havoc and will not hesitate in prosecuting those involved to the fullest extent of the law.”
