"should be shot" was sentenced on a weapons charge to time served on Wednesday.

CBS affiliate WTOL in Toledo, Ohio, reported that 41-year-old Timothy Ireland will also be on supervised release for three years.

According to the TV station, U.S. Capitol Police were notified in July of a social media post from Ireland that said: “She should be shot. Can’t fire me, my employer would load the gun for me.”

When later contacted by authorities, Ireland said that he was “very proud of that post he made," according to an affidavit filed in the case.

Last year, his house was raided by agents who found seven rounds of illegal ammunition, according to the Toledo Blade, which added that he faced a maximum prison sentence of 10 years for the charge.

At the time, he reportedly had outstanding warrants for felony failure to appear in court in Florida and a misdemeanor charge for failure to appear in Georgia.

Ocasio-Cortez's office did not immediately return a request for comment on Ireland's sentencing.
