A Texas man threatened to burn down a television station and warned a general manager that he was a “dead man walking,” according to a federal indictment.

Jason Eric Bewley, 47, of Bryan, was arrested last week in North Carolina after being indicted last April for allegedly threatening to torch the building where local television station KBTX broadcasts in his hometown, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

“It’s too bad you’re a dead man walking,” Bewley emailed the station’s general manager, Mike Wright, in May 2017, according to the indictment, which was recently unsealed. “I will split your skull open Mike Wright KBTX.”

Weeks later, Bewley tore into another staffer at the station over the phone, telling the employee he intended to “come down there and rip your eyes out and skull f–k you,” according to the indictment.

“I’ll burn the f–king building to the ground,” Bewley said.

Bewley, who has been charged with transmitting threats through interstate communications, was waiting to be extradited to Texas, where he’s expected to appear in federal court in Houston on Friday, the Star-Telegram reported.

KBTX reports that Bewley has been harassing its employees and the station for 10 years, citing his arrest in 2008 for throwing a cinder block through a window at the station, as well as a news truck, shattering both. It was not immediately clear why Bewley had allegedly targeted the news station for so long.

“It’s been commonplace for years at KBTX for Bewley to call, sometimes hundreds of times in a row, with obscenity-laced tirades threatening to rape and murder newsroom team members,” the station reports. “He also sent emails, sometimes to hundreds of people, accusing KBTX of recording Brazos Valley residents through their televisions.”

Bewley also reached out to the alma maters of KBTX newsroom staffers, telling professors and deans in emails that their former students were now involved in the production of illegal pornography, according to the station.

“This has, often, been a scary and frustrating time for the staff and alumni of KBTX,” the station reports. “We’re extremely grateful for the tireless work that law enforcement has done in keeping our staff safe and tracking Bewley down.”

Bewley was ordered to be extradited last Thursday, court records show, the same day a gunman opened fire at the Capital Gazette in Annapolis, Maryland, killing five people.
