Talk about over-charging someone, here we see a classic case. Certainly he should be charged with making the threats, but "terroristic" is absurd, such should be reserved for things pertaiing to the security of the country, not a specific person. A case of a Prosecutor out of control!11-18-2010 Minnesota:
A 34-year old patient with the Minnesota Sex Offenders Program at the St. Peter Regional Treatment Center faces two felony counts for allegations he threatened a Department of Human Services employee on two separate occasions in August.
Larry Dean Dyslin, Jr., 34, has been charged in Nicollet County District Court with two counts of felony terroristic threats. If convicted he could face a maximum penalty of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Dyslin will make his first court appearance on January 14, 2011.
According to court documents, a Minnesota Department of Human Services reimbursement specialist received a call on August 10 while working in the billing office at St. Peter. The caller, who did not identify himself, indicated he was upset at her for sending a bill to him for treatment costs.
The caller got angry with the victim and told her he was going to “put a hit” on her. The woman notified her supervisor who in turn notified a Department of Human Services special investigator.
On August 16, the victim received a voice mail which appeared to be from the same caller which said, “this is Larry Dean. I’ve already paid someone to take out you and your family. So if there’s another bill . . . you’re dead,” according to the complaint.
The special investigator was able to determine the caller was Dyslin, who was an MSOP patient and committed as mentally ill and dangerous. Dyslin told the investigator he knew the woman because her name was on the bill he received.
He also admitted to threatening the making the threats and a witness also informed the investigator he overheard Dyslin make the threats as well.
The woman told the investigator she feared for her safety because of the threatening calls and had changed her routine because of them as well. ..Source.. StPeter Herald.com
