Bond set for Racine man accused of stalking Wisconsin's chief justice (D)
A Racine man was arraigned this week after prosecutors say he repeatedly threatened Wisconsin Chief Justice Jill Karofsky.
Ryan Thornton, 37, faces one felony count of stalking.
According to prosecutors, Thornton began emailing Karofsky in August after Wisconsin’s Office of Lawyer Regulation rejected his complaint against an attorney who had represented Thornton in a separate domestic abuse case.
A Racine County jury found Thornton guilty of strangulation and disorderly conduct in that case in 2019.
