Man jailed for threatening Gov. plans billboard

Photo- not actual billboard
James Sanchez is in jail accused of threatening Governor Susana Martinez. But that hasn’t stopped him from taunting her. 
Sanchez sent a jailhouse letter to KOB Eyewitness News 4, saying he plans to put up a billboard between Santa Fe and Albuquerque that pokes fun at the governor. 
His drawing tells people to vote the governor in as dog catcher in Juarez, Mexico. Sanchez previously mentioned he wants to politically destroy the governor. 
Sanchez has been upset with the governor, and others, over what he says has been a lack of help to deal with cows roaming freely on roads around Valencia County
Officials with Governor Martinez said Sanchez left threatening phone messages at her office. Governor Martinez told KOB that Sanchez threatened to kill her.
Sanchez goes on trial in about a week for phone intimidation charges. His attorney plans to ask prosecutors to give Sanchez probation instead of jail time, in exchange for Sanchez moving to Hawaii. Attorney Thomas Esquibel said Sanchez lived in Hawaii for years and did well with V.A. counseling there.
