Auburn man charged with hate crime for threatening neighbors

July 14, 2010 at 2:35 PM

An Auburn man who police say sent more than 230 ranting emails to Washington Sen. Maria Cantwell, many containing threats against Mexican immigrants, has been charged with malicious harassment after he reportedly pointed a gun at his neighbors.

Thomas Hanson, 63, is accused of pointing a gun at Segrio Zapata-Zurita's family on the night of July 4, according to charging documents. Auburn police found four rifles and six handguns inside Hanson's trailer, several of which were loaded, prosecutors said.

Zapata-Zurita told police that Hanson threw a bottle at him that night after he asked Hanson to turn down his music, court papers said. When Zapata-Zurita's mother later asked him to lower the volume Hanson cursed at her, gave her the finger and called her a racially derogatory term, prosecutors said.

When Zapata-Zurita, his younger brother and their stepfather walked outside, Hanson pointed a gun at them and threatened to shoot them, charging papers said,
