Man Arrested for Harassing Chicago Anchor
/Talk about an idiot....
Tony Young was on probation for sending unwanted social media messages to a WLS (Chicago) Meteorologist (FTVLive is not naming the Anchor).
Young was arrested again for sending the same Anchor an instant message on Facebook earlier this month, which was in violation of his probation.
Young has been charged with felony electronic harassment and was ordered held without bail by a Chicago Judge.
The Chicago Tribune writes that prosecutors said Young sent the message that appeared to be a “love letter” to the TV news personality on May 8. The message was a violation of Judge James Obbish’s intensive probation order for a felony Young faced in 2016 for harassing the woman.
In 2016, Young was arrested and charged with sending messages to the woman’s private email, the prosecutor said.
Young, who said nothing during his hearing, is scheduled to return to court Friday.
