Minnesota lobbyist arrested after allegedly sending threatening texts

A longtime Minnesota lobbyist was charged Friday after allegedly making violent threats, according to court documents.

A longtime Minnesota lobbyist was charged Friday after allegedly making violent threats “with the purpose to terrorize another” person, according to court documents.

Jonathan M. Bohn, 41, is accused of committing “threats of violence — reckless disregard” after he allegedly sent a series of threatening text messages. The charge, a felony, carries a penalty of up to five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both.

While the court document, filed in the 1st Judicial District of Carver County, does not include the name of the person to whom Bohn, a lobbyist for 20 years, allegedly sent the texts, it does include samples of several texts threatening in nature.

In one message, Bohn allegedly wrote in part, “Today I bought 500 bullets. I can’t wait to shoot one of you motherf-----s in the face.”

In another message, he allegedly wrote, “Excited to have my gun at the Capitol and blow somebody’s f-----g face off.”
