A man in Montana is facing charges after leaving a series of threatening and antisemitic voicemails with Hawai‘i Gov. Josh Green’s office.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, Eric Lee Boltz, 51, is facing charges of cyberstalking and making an interstate communication containing a threat after leaving nine voicemails with the governor’s office throughout December 2025.

Boltz was arrested and had his initial appearance in the District of Montana on June 10. Boltz was ordered detained pending transportation to the District of Hawai‘i.

Disguising his voice, Boltz threatened to kill the governor and his family and sexually assault his daughter. When interviewed by law enforcement in Arizona, Boltz said he left the voicemails to “shake [Governor Green] up.”

According to court documents, Boltz told investigators he understood how the voicemails would be perceived by Green and his family.

“Boltz described his actions as ‘dumb’ and said he ‘went a level higher than I should have,'” the court document reads.

If convicted, Boltz faces up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 per count, plus a term of supervised release.

The FBI is investigating the case.
