A 52-year-old man most recently living in Montana pleaded guilty this week to making antisemitic comments to Hawai‘i Gov. Josh Green and threatening to kill the governor and his family.
U.S. Attorney Ken Sorenson reported Eric Lee Boltz pleaded guilty Nov. 4 to one count of cyberstalking as part of a plea agreement.
Court records show Boltz in December 2025 left a series of threatening and antisemitic voicemails with Green’s office. He disguised his voice and threatened to kill the governor and his family as well as sexually assault his daughter.
Boltz when interviewed by law enforcement said he left the voicemails to “shake [Gov. Green] up.”
He admitted in the plea agreement that he was motivated to engage in his cyberstalking because of Green’s official government position and religion.
Boltz faces up to 5 years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, plus a term of supervised release.
He was remanded into custody following his plea.
Sentencing is scheduled for March 4, 2027, before Senior U.S. District Judge J. Michael Seabright.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation investigated the case. Assistant U.S. Attorney Barbara Eucker is prosecuting the case.
