SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - For a Sheboygan man, making threats to people’s lives both in person and through Facebook will cause him to spend two years on probation.
25 year old Gregory Walker Jr. was sentenced last week after he pleaded no contest to counts of disorderly conduct, criminal damage to property, and threatening to harm/injure a person via computer message.
The charges stem from two incidents in an eight day period.
According to the criminal complaints, the first occurred September 22, involving Walker, a teenage girl, and her boyfriend. The three got into an expletive-laced argument on Facebook, and Walker was found to have made a threat to the two.
The other incident occurred at Champs Sports Bar and Grill on September 29. Walker is said to have reacted to a job offer at the business by flipping a table and preparing to fight before he was removed. Several witnesses said Walker returned and threatened to shoot everyone in the bar.
The final charge was due to damage caused by Walker to his former apartment as he asked to move out.
In her sentence, Judge Angela Sutkiewicz also ordered 60 days in jail, but that was stayed.
