AKWESASNE -- An Akwesasne man faces up to five years in prison after he admitted to making threats to injure three members of the St. Regis Mohawk Tribal Police officers on Facebook.

Roy Redeye, 39, who police identified as being of Cortland and Akwesasne, pled guilty Thursday to two counts of interstate threats to injure another person.

Redeye admitted during the change of plea hearing that on Feb. 6, he posted threats to injure and kill three Saint Regis Mohawk Tribal Police Officers on Facebook.

On both counts, Redeye faces up to five years in prison, a fine of up to $250,000, and a term of supervised release up to 3 years.

Sentencing is set for April 6, 2016 at 10:30 a.m. before Senior U.S. District Judge Lawrence E. Kahn.

The case was investigated by Homeland Security Investigations in both Massena and Syracuse, with assistance from the Cortland Police Department, the Cortland County Sheriff’s Office, and the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribal Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Elizabeth Horsman prosecuted the case.

The case was prosecuted under the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Northern District of New York’s Indian Country Public Safety Initiative, which was established as a result of the Tribal Law and Order Act of 2010.
