A South Carolina man was arrested and charged after sending threatening emails to a judge, according to officials.

David Matthew Zwicker, 36, sent nine separate emails between Dec. 30 and Jan. 19 to the judge with no legitimate purpose except to cause a person to "suffer mental or emotional stress," according to an affidavit.

One email to the judge from Jan. 14 said, "I'll rip your face off."
