The defendant threatened to blow up the State Attorney’s Office in one of his to the office.  During the calls the defendant inquired about the legal consequences of punching State Attorney Mark Ober, judges and in his words “taking out cops”.  Witnesses identified the suspect via voice recordings and the suspect also identified himself to 3 witnesses.
