New York Man Arrested Over Threats Against Mike Collins and Son-in-Law

A New York man was arrested after authorities accused him of threatening to kill Rep. Mike Collins and his son-in-law. Center outlets generally present the arrest and allegations in attributed, matter-of-fact terms; many also include statements from both campaigns, while some focus on law enforcement.
