Ohio man charged with threatening to shoot Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, illegally stockpiling ammo.

An Ohio man was slammed with criminal charges Friday for threatening New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and stockpiling illegal ammunition in his home, according to prosecutors.

Federal agents raided Tim Ireland’s Toledo home on Thursday and arrested him after learning he had posted on Facebook that Ocasio-Cortez “should be shot," prosecutors said.

“My employer would load the gun for me,” Ireland posted, according to court records.

During the raid, feds found several rounds of illegal ammunition in Ireland’s home, prosecutors said.

An FBI background check also revealed the 41-year-old had two outstanding warrants on marijuana possession in Georgia and skipping a court hearing in Florida related to a past criminal case, according to prosecutors.
