Scott Lennox, 21, has been charged with allegedly making a death threat against Republican Illinois candidate for governor Darren Bailey.
A Chicago man is behind bars after he was charged with making a violent threat toward Republican candidate for Illinois governor, Darren Bailey.
"This is exactly the product of JB Pritzker, you know, his divisiveness and his rhetoric," Bailey said. "JB Pritzker's creating this." He then allegedly called Bailey's office. According to prosecutors, Lennox said in the voicemail, "I'm going to skin Darren Bailey alive, making sure he is still alive and I'm going to feed his family to him as he is alive and screaming in pain."
Secretary of State police contacted Lennox and deemed the threat not credible. State police followed up and arrested Lennox at his Chicago apartment Monday night. "It's my understand with the Safe-T Act that threats, you know threats against public officials, will be non-detainable offenses, so again, due to the nature of this call, state police encouraged us to pursue this," Bailey said.
