Man charged after racist, threatening voicemails left for Delaware County, Pennsylvania, Sheriff Siddiq Kamara
Investigators say Sean Keenan made multiple calls and left racist threats, including “Death to Islam,” before his arrest on terroristic threats charges.
- On Tuesday, authorities charged 40-year-old Sean Keenan with terroristic threats and ethnic intimidation after he allegedly left racist, threatening voicemails targeting Delaware County Sheriff Siddiq Kamara earlier this month.
- Investigators identified Keenan by tracing phone records to a 911 call he made in February, matching his voice to two Islamophobic messages left on the sheriff's civilian hotline on July 18.
- Keenan faces felony charges including terroristic threats and ethnic intimidation, with a preliminary hearing set for August 7. A judge released him on $100,000 unsecured bail with electronic home monitoring.
- Sheriff Kamara, the first Liberian-descent sheriff in Delaware County, called the threats "particularly disturbing," stating, "We can disagree without dehumanizing one another."
- Keenan's attorney disputed the allegations, claiming the suspect reached the sheriff's office by mistake while responding to threatening scam calls targeting his wife, believing he was contacting the scammer.
