MADISON—John W. Vaudreuil, United States
Attorney for the Western District of Wisconsin, announced that William O.
Diederich, 61, Madison, Wisconsin, has been charged with using a telephone to
make a threat.
In a complaint filed in U.S. District

and destroy a building and to kill and injure individuals by means of an
explosive. The complaint alleges that he made this threat using a telephone on
February 24, 2012.
This charge carries a maximum penalty of
10 years in federal prison.
Diederich was arrested earlier today at
a residence in Pickerel, Wisconsin. He will make an initial appearance in
federal court in Madison at 3:00 p.m. today.
The charge against Diederich was the
result of an investigation by the Madison Police Department and FBI. The
prosecution of this matter has been assigned to Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeffrey
M. Anderson.
You are advised that a charge is merely
an accusation and that a defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven
