Threats to Miss. lawmaker traced to NJ cellphone

A sheriff’s department says threatening calls made to a Mississippi lawmaker came from a cellphone with a New Jersey area code.

Republican Rep. Andy Gipson of Braxton said he and his family received death threats in mid-May after he posted Bible verses on Facebook to express his opposition to same-sex marriage.

Gipson doesn’t have caller identification on his home phone, so he asked investigators to pull his phone records.
