MEDICINE HAT, ALTA.—An Alberta man has pleaded guilty to sending threatening emails to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. William Benham, 52, was in Medicine Hat provincial court today and entered a guilty plea to charges of uttering threats and threats to cause damage to property. Benham was arrested on Jan. 12 after he emailed the threats to several officials — including Trudeau and Medicine Hat Mayor Ted Clugston. The emails included threats against government and specific threats toward the Prime Minister, although a police investigation determined he had no plans to follow through on those threats. Benham got a 30-day jail sentence, followed by 24-months probation with numerous conditions.
