FBI arrests (guess) man for threatening Pinellas mosque and leaving his name in the process

Florida man helpfully left his name when making threats, making it easy for cops to track him down;

The FBI said the caller claimed he was "going to personally have a militia … come down to … firebomb you (and) shoot whoever is there."

And then, he left his name.

The FBI arrested Martin Alan Schnitzler, 43, on Tuesday on a federal charge of making a telephonic threat to kill, injure or intimidate using fire or an explosive.

If convicted, Schnitzler, who lives in Seminole, could face up to 10 years in prison.
