A Kalispell man will spend two and a half years in federal prison for threatening to kill U.S. Senator Jon Tester, according to the U.S. Attorney's Office.

Kevin P. Smith, 46, was sentenced on Thursday. He pleaded guilty in April to one count of threatening to murder a U.S. Senator, after Tester's staff discovered several threatening voicemails on the senator's phone on Jan. 30.

Smith left Tester 60 voicemails at his Kalispell office, according to prosecutors.

In one voicemail, according to court documents, Smith said, "There is nothing I want more than to have you stand toe to toe with me. You stand toe to toe with me. I rip your head off. You die. You stand in a situation where it is physical between you and me. You die."

4. Oh, Kalispell.

The Montana capitol of RW insanity.

Used to have a radio station that had RW talk in the morning and played Metal in the afternoons. The asshole owner is passed, fortunately.
