“I know where he lives, I know where he sleeps, I know where his kids sleep.” – voicemail message
“Yeah, that’s right so he better kill himself and if he doesn’t, I am going to kill him,” – document filed in Cook County Circuit Court.
They traced the call to Lennox using caller ID.
Lennox admitted to the call. “The Illinois Secretary of State Police deemed (Lennox) was not a credible threat and did not arrest (Lennox) or transport him to any location for further questioning.”
The case was referred to Illinois State Police, who did arrest Lennox after interviewing him and examining his phone.
He was granted $75,000 bond with electronic monitoring and was ordered to stay away from Bailey.
“Divisive, inflammatory, and misleading rhetoric is driving hatred across our state as some attempt to label political opponents as dangerous threats. Whether we agree or disagree on policies, we are all Americans. I pray this young man gets the help he needs.” – Bailey
“The violent rhetoric and division we’re seeing across our country is unacceptable. Hatred in any form has no home in Illinois.” – The Democrat Opponent
