A Canadian teenager has reportedly threatened to turn Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio “into a woman” by removing his genitalia with a meat cleaver.

According to ABC News, the 16-year-old boy, who is not being publicly identified, made the threat through MCSO’s website.

The sheriff’s office said that in the threat the teen wrote that he “will never stop until I am put away for good. … I hate you so much that I will travel to Arizona to chop off your b—s off with a meat cleaver and turn you into a woman.”

The teen, who has referred to Arpaio as his “arch nemesis,” was arrested last year for threats directed at the sheriff.
