A registered Minnesota lobbyist, identified as Jonathan Bohn, was arrested this week after allegedly sending a threatening message aimed at the Minnesota State Capitol, according to local law enforcement.
Carver County sheriff’s deputies took Bohn, 41, of Woodbury, into custody on probable cause of making a threat of violence, with the arrest occurring during a targeted operation . He remains jailed without bond, and formal charges are expected to be filed shortly.
Authorities say Bohn’s message, exchanged via text, referenced the Capitol and included language implying potential violent action, prompting an immediate response from investigators.
This arrest highlights heightened vigilance by Minnesota officials following previous incidents involving threats or violence targeting government buildings. Further details, including the exact content of the alleged threat, have not been released as the investigation continues.
Bohn is scheduled to appear in court soon, where charges will be formally presented. Authorities have emphasized that any threats against public officials or institutions are taken very seriously and prosecuted accordingly.
