Man Indicted For Allegedly Threatening Owings Mills Synagogue

A federal grand jury Thursday indicted a man accused of making threatening calls to an Owings Mills synagogue.

Stephen Lyle Orback, 64, is charged with making threatening communications, according to U.S. Attorney Robert K. Hur's office. Orback is currently being held in Colorado on unrelated state charges.

On May 12 and 13, Orback allegedly made multiple calls to an employee of the synagogue, threatening to kill many members of the congregation.

The charge carries up to five years in federal prison. No initial appearance has yet been set.
