SURREY RCMP announced on Wednesday that charges have been approved in an investigation that involved death threats to an American journalist online.

CBC’s Jason Proctor had reported last month that the threats were against a prominent CNN anchor and staff at the station’s New York headquarters.

CBC said that the New York Police Department contacted RCMP at the end of June after they received a complaint from John Teehan, director of executive protection and special events for Warner Brothers Discovery, the company which owns CNN.

Surrey RCMP said that in June, its General Investigation Unit took conduct of the file, and identified a suspect. On July 10, a 38-year-old man was arrested and a search warrant was executed at his residence. He was released from custody on conditions.

On November 10, 38-year-old Nicholas Sullivan was charged with five counts of uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm through social media. He is scheduled to appear in court later this month.

Surrey RCMP said it worked with U.S. authorities, including the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) to bring this matter before the courts.
