   A Macomb County man was sentenced to federal prison after being accused of   
   making threatening calls to DTE Energy shareholders and posting online   
   threats to assassinate Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, federal prosecutors   
   said.   
      
   On Friday, Steven Conway, 40, of Center Line, was sentenced to 10 months   
   in federal prison after pleading guilty to two counts of communicating   
   threats in interstate commerce. A judge also sentenced Conway to two years   
   of supervised release.   
      
   According to federal prosecutors, in January 2025, Conway called a DTE   
   call center in Milwaukee and threatened to hunt down" and "target for   
   assassination" shareholders and members of the utility company.   
      
   Conway later posted threats to kill Whitmer on an online dating website,   
   prosecutors claim, saying the Michigan governor was on a list "marked for   
   assassination."   
      
   Prosecutors say Conway was previously convicted of threatening to kill   
   police officers and a judge in Macomb County.   
      
   "Threats of political violence and retribution are an attack on the rule   
   of law. We will protect our public servants and the regular citizens who   
   make our country free and prosperous," U.S. Attorney Jerome Gorgon said in   
   a statement.   
      
   The FBI's joint terrorism task force investigated Conway's case, along   
   with the Macomb County Sheriff's Office, the West Bloomfield Police   
   Department and the Center Line Police Department.
