A man who allegedly sent dozens of letters to Jodie Foster has been charged with sending a bomb threat to a Los Angeles airport.
Michael Smegal, 42, of Holliston, Massachusetts, was charged in U.S. District Court in Massachusetts accused of mailing a threatening hand-written letter to Van Nuys Airport last December.
The FBI affidavit revealed that more than 100 letters containing a reference to the actress were sent to celebrities, airports and other locations between September 2007 and January 2008.
They were all sent from either Massachusetts or Rhode Island and many included the words “Jodie Foster S” and “going to be a gas bomb in this building”.
Foster received anonymous letters a from Massachusetts beginning in 2004. In 2005, Smegal admitted to police he had sent the letters and promised to stop, the affidavit said.
If convicted, Smegal faces up to 10 years in prison followed by three years of supervised release and a $250,000 fine.
