A Georgia gubernatorial candidate was arrested Wednesday for making threats against singer Elton John, the Atlanta-Journal Consitution  reports.

Neal Horsley was arrested in Carrollton, Georgia, according to local police.

John, who the paper calls a “part-time Atlantan,” angered Horsley when he told Parade magazine that he thought Jesus was gay.

Horsley then penned the Internet diatribe on “Why Elton John Must Die,” the paper said.

There is also a video posted on YouTube showing Horsley protesting outside John’s Peachtree Road condominium with a sign that reads “Elton John Must Die.”

Horsley was charged with making terroristic threats, criminal defamation and using the Internet to disseminate threats.

This is not the first time Horlsey has gotten in trouble using the Internet, the paper reports. In 2002 a federal appeals court ruled a Web site run by Horsley condemning abortion doctors amounted to illegal threats, not free speech.
