Man accused of Kansas Governor threat faces felony charge

TOPEKA (AP) – A man accused of making a threatening phone call to Kansas Governor Sam Brownback’s office may face a felony charge.

A Shawnee County prosecutor told a judge Thursday that her office is considering a criminal threat charge against a 37-year-old man who was arrested at a Topeka motel Wednesday.

The man is a construction worker whose last known home was Columbia, Mo. He had his first court appearance by video conference from the local jail.

District Judge Steven Ebberts set the defendant’s bond at $25,000. The Associated Press is withholding the man’s name because no criminal charges have been filed.
