Jonathan Bohn, 42, of Woodbury, pleaded guilty to one count of threats of violence involving reckless disregard for risk, according to FOX 9 Minneapolis-St. Paul. He is scheduled to be sentenced Feb. 1, 2027, the Minnesota Star Tribune reported.
FOX 9 reported that the recommended terms are up to 180 days in jail and three years of probation. The Star Tribune, citing court documents, said Bohn would serve the jail time only if he violates probation. A judge also extended an extreme-risk protection order that bars him from buying or possessing a firearm; the order is set to expire Dec. 25, the Star Tribune reported.
The case stems from texts Bohn sent on June 18, 2025, according to charging documents described by the Star Tribune. The messages said he had bought 500 bullets and threatened to shoot people. They followed the killings of former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, and the shootings of state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife, Yvette.
Bohn said he was grieving when he sent the messages, expressed regret, and said he condemns violence and had failed to reduce the temperature of political discourse, the Star Tribune reported. Minnesota House Information Services said the threat was not directed at a specific lawmaker, according to FOX 9.
