A 39-year-old Arkansas man has been arrested after Atlanta police accused him of making threatening telephone calls to CNN asking to be directed to host Don Lemon's 'dead body hanging from a tree'.

The Baxter County Sheriff's Office announced Wednesday that Benjamin Craig Matthews of Mountain Home, Arkansas, was taken into custody Tuesday and remains jailed on $15,000 bond.

Matthews faces multiple counts of making terrorist threats and harassing communications.

It was unclear from online jail records if he had an attorney.

Sheriff John Montgomery says Atlanta police contacted his office to report CNN's headquarters had received threatening calls between Oct. 31 and Nov. 2.

The network reported more than 40 such calls were made from the same phone number.

The calls were traced to a cellphone belonging to Matthews, who also was alleged to have made threatening calls to another television network.

Authorities say that the calls to CNN began on October 31, according to the Baxter Bulletin newspaper in Arkansas.

Matthews allegedly placed three calls into CNN that day. In one call, he reportedly threatened to beat up Lemon.

In another call placed to CNN later that day, Matthews was allegedly verbally abusive with the operator.

During a third call he placed to the network, Matthews allegedly asked the operator to help kill Lemon.
