CLERMONT COUNTY, Ohio (WKRC) – A man accused of threatening a judge at the Clermont County Common Pleas Courthouse is in custody in California after investigators say he admitted making the call.<\/p>\n
At about 10:47 a.m. on June 25, an unidentified male contacted the Clermont County Common Pleas Courthouse at 270 E. Main St. in Batavia and made threats of harm against a judge. Court personnel notified deputies from the Clermont County Sheriff\u2019s Office who were assigned to the courthouse.<\/p>\n
The sheriff\u2019s office investigations division initiated an investigation, and detectives responded to the courthouse to identify the caller. Using investigative techniques and available resources, detectives identified the suspect as Ian Doty, 41, of Hamilton County.<\/p>\n
Detectives later contacted Doty by telephone, and investigators said he admitted to making the call and issuing threats against a sitting Common Pleas Court judge.<\/p>\n
During the investigation, detectives learned Doty has prior convictions in three states, including offenses for importuning, menacing, aggravated menacing, disorderly conduct, burglary, failure to provide notice of change of address, attempted abduction, and attempted felony sexual assault.<\/p>\n
Doty was charged with one count of intimidation, a third-degree felony.<\/p>\n
He was taken into custody without incident in San Diego, California, by the San Diego Police Department and taken to the San Diego County Jail. Authorities said Doty will be extradited back to Clermont County once he signs a waiver of extradition to face the charge at a later date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"CLERMONT COUNTY, Ohio (WKRC) – A man accused of threatening a judge at the Clermont County Common Pleas…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":375128,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[7,9,8],"class_list":["post-375127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-california","tag-california","tag-california-headlines","tag-california-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=375127"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/375127\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/375128"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=375127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=375127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=375127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
