Yeetle Box - Government at Work

A 69-year-old man angry about being put on hold has been charged with threatening to kill a Social Security Administration worker.

Police said the man called a Social Security answering service in New York because he was upset about not receiving his check.

He told police he was on hold for more than 30 minutes, and when a supervisor finally told him she couldn't help, he said he was going to kill the first person he met at the Social Security office in Keene.

The office was closed as a precaution. The man was arrested at his home and charged with criminal threatening.

He said he was frustrated and said something stupid.
