ELGIN – An Elgin man accused of leaving a voicemail threat to Gov. Bruce Rauner faces felony charges of threatening a public official, Kane County prosecutors said Tuesday.
Jesse M. Kuzma, 31, of the 1100 block of West Highland Avenue, is accused of leaving the voicemail at about 11 p.m. Friday, according to the Kane County State's Attorney's office.
The message said "if I ever see you consider this your death threat," according to Kane County Assistant States Attorney Scott Schwertley.
The charge is a Class 3 felony, said Kane County Judge Judith Brawka. She set bail at $50,000, adding conditions that, if released on bail, Kuzma was barred from contact with the governor.
