Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler said in a tweet Friday that he may have been threatened by Cesar Sayoc Jr., the Florida man arrested and charged with a spate of attempting bombings targeting Democrats.

"Learning from @verge that the alleged Florida bomber may have sent threats to even more people, including me," the mayor tweeted. "Our security team is aware."

In his tweet Wheeler cited an article from The Verge, a news site that primarily covers technology, reporting a now-suspended Twitter account belonging to Sayoc threatened Wheeler and others online.

A digital archive of Sayoc's account shows he tweeted to Wheeler in the late night hours of Aug. 2, posting a picture of Wheeler and his wife standing with the Portland skyline in the background and calling him "slime scum."

"We will see you real soon," read the mostly incoherent, rambling tweet.

Sayoc also tweeted threats at Gov. Kate Brown.

Wheeler spokeswoman Eileen Park said Friday that the mayor's security team has been monitoring his home and office more closely than usual given the explosive devices mailed to prominent Democrats, including Barack Obama, Bill and Hillary Clinton, Robert De Niro and other critics of President Trump.

No suspicious packages have been received, Park said.
