WASHINGTON (AP) — A former Maryland resident has been sentenced to more than one year behind bars for making thousands of threatening and harassing telephone calls to dozens of congressional offices across the country.

On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Timothy Kelly sentenced Lilly to 13 months of incarceration followed by three years of supervised release.
