Franklin Sain, Trial Date Set For Man Accused Of Threatening Rep. Rhonda Fields
The trial date for the Colorado Springs man who was arrested in March and charged with threatening a Colorado State Representative has been set.
A Denver district judge set a Nov. 20 trial date for Franklin Sain, 42. Sain was charged with attempting to influence a public servant and harassment-ethnic intimidation, a felony and a misdemeanor respectively. He could spend up to six years in prison if he is convicted of the felony charge.
Sain pleaded not guilty at his formal arraignment and had told police that he was just "voicing some frustrations" over gun bills being sponsored by state Rep. Rhonda Fields (D-Aurora).
Fields, who sponsored a bill banning banning high-capacity gun magazines and limiting capacity to 15 rounds as well as a universal gun background checks bill, issued a statement after Sain's arrest thanking law enforcement.
.I am grateful for the prompt work of the Colorado State Patrol in bringing this suspect to justice. I also thank the Denver Police Department, which was instrumental in the investigation. I will not be deterred by threats
