Anoka Man Sentenced To 6 Months For Threats To 2 Clinics
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - An Anoka man has been sentenced to six months in jail for phoning threats in 2014 to two Minneapolis clinics that provide reproductive health services.
The Justice Department says 34-year-old Michael John Harris pleaded guilty a year ago to two counts and heard his sentence Monday.
Harris admitted threatening a person at one clinic with his bare hands and to cut that person's head off with a band saw. He told a person at the second that he was going to kill them and their co-workers, and shoot everyone present there.
In a letter to Magistrate Judge Hildy Bowbeer, Harris said he had no intention of acting on his threats, but was in a bad place mentally and emotionally and let his drinking and depression get the better of him.
