JS Online reported:

A 26-year-old woman was charged Thursday with two felony counts and two misdemeanor

counts for allegedly making email threats against Wisconsin lawmakers during the height of

the battle over Gov. Scott Walker’s budget-repair bill.

Katherine R. Windels of Cross Plains was named in a criminal complaint filed in Dane

County Criminal Court.

According to the criminal complaint, Windels allegedly sent an email threat to State Sen.

to 15 Republican legislators, including Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald (R-Juneau).

The subject line of the second email was: “Atten: Death Threat!!!! Bomb!!!”

In that email, she purportedly wrote, “Please put your things in orderbecause you will be killed and your families will also be killed

due to your actions in the last 8 weeks.”

“I hope you have a good time in hell,” she allegedly wrote in the lengthy

email in which she purportedly listed scenarios in which the legislators and their families

would die, including bombings and by “putting a nice little bullet in your head.”

According to the criminal complaint, Windels told investigators “I sent out emails that I wasdisgusted and very upset by what they were doing.”

Asked if she intended to follow through on any of her threats, Windels told the investigators

“No,” according to the complaint.

Windels was charged with two felony counts “bomb scare” and two misdemeanor counts of 

“computer message-threatening injury/bodily harm.” If convicted, each felony count carries

a maximum penalty of three years and six months in prison and a $10,000 fine, and each

misdemeanor count carries a maximum penalty of 90 days in prison and a $1,000 fine.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO THE DEATH THREAT

PROBE?

Story Updated: Mar 31, 2011

Statement from the Department of Justice:

Beginning on February 21, 2011 DCI was asked to investigate

multiple threats to various members of the Wisconsin Legislatur

due to the volume, our ability to fully analyze the many

communications and our experience. I believe it’s also fair to say

authorities believed we would be prompt in our efforts to

investigate and take appropriate action given the nature of the

threats and the climate at the time.

DCI immediately reviewed and analyzed what was sent. Every

referral was investigated. In the judgment of investigators, some

presented a need for more intense investigation; some did not.

One case in particular, which was started upon the receipt of 

threats on March 9, 2011, the subject of whom is a Dane Countyresident, was thoroughly investigated.

Investigators concluded it did not present an imminent threat

but presented sufficient probable cause that criminal behavior

had occurred and on Friday, March 18, 2011 this matter was

referred to the Dane County District Attorney Ismael Ozanne

who has sole jurisdiction and charging authority for a charging

decision.

On Monday, March 23, 2011 the Department of Justice learnedthrough press reports that the Dane County District Attorney

had returned the referral to the Department citing clerical and

administrative issues related to the reports transfer. Importantl

the investigative reports themselves were not returned. It is

important to note that this Department routinely refers

investigative reports to District Attorneys, including the Dane

County District Attorney, for their review and charging

decisions.

This is where this matter currently sits.

We are concerned about the lack of action regarding this referral.
