Cops busted a Michigan man last week after they say he called CNN several times, threatening to kill employees at the network's Atlanta, Georgia.

Brandon Griesemer made 22 calls to CNN on January 9 and January 10 and four calls, which were recorded, contained threats, according to the affidavit, which was unsealed Friday.

CNN reports that Griesemer also made disparaging statements about Jewish people, African-Americans and the network in several calls, the affidavit said.

He was charged Friday in US District Court with transmitting interstate communications with the intent to extort and threat to injure. He was released Friday on $10,000 bond.

CNN received the first threatening call around 3 p.m. on January 9. It was the first of three threatening calls that day to CNN from that number, according to the affidavit.

"Fake news. I'm coming to gun you all down," said the caller, who cursed and used an expletive directed at African-Americans, the affidavit said.

"I am on my way right now to gun the f****** CNN cast down .... I am coming to kill you," the caller said a second call to CNN, according to the affidavit.

On January 10, CNN received the fourth call from the same cell phone number used to make the three prior threats, the affidavit said.
The caller again threatened to come to the Atlanta headquarters to "gun every single last one of you," the affidavit said.

Griesemer could face a fine or up to five years in prison if convicted.
