“It is out of bounds and inappropriate to harass, intimidate or threaten employees who have been working incredibly hard, in arduous circumstances, to restore power to our neighbors, friends and family,” MLGW said in a statement, after threats to the family of CEO Doug McGowen.

According to the police report, the suspect — a 56-year-old woman — said: “At least you have power,” and “Your husband needs to retire.”
