A Terre Haute man has been arrested, accused of threatening a local legislator.

Network Indiana is reporting that threats were made against state Rep. Jim Lucas, a Seymour Republican, both through voicemails and on Facebook, say Indiana Capitol Police.

Police have not revealed the contents of those messages.

After a search warrant was served Monday, police arrested 55-year-old Robert L. Bennett of Terre Haute who is facing four counts of felony intimidation.

Lucas represents District 69 in the statehouse, which includes the far southern portion of Bartholomew along with parts of Jackson, Scott and Washington counties.
