A man charged earlier this month in connection with the sending of a series of threatening letters has entered a guilty plea in court.
Eric Wirkkala, 46, of Thunder Bay was arrested at the beginning of the month and charged with 65 counts of uttering threats.
On Monday Wirkkala pleaded guilty to 16 charges, after several of them were amended and amalgamated.
The letters were mailed between July and October of last years and targeted politicians and other individuals, along with business and media outlets.
Wirkkala will remain in custody until his sentencing on Jan. 17.
