A Morgan County man was charged with a felony on Saturday after he was accused of making a threat against the county’s prosecutor in a Facebook post about Charlie Kirk.
Mark Ream was charged with tampering with a judicial officer. A warrant was served on Monday and a $150,000 bond was set. An arraignment was scheduled for 9 a.m. Tuesday at the Morgan County Courthouse.
The probable cause statement says a post was made in the Facebook group “What’s up Gravois Mills?” on Friday saying anyone celebrating the death of Charlie Kirk would be removed from the group. Kirk was a divisive political commentator who was shot to death last week on a college campus in Utah.
Ream allegedly commented on the post, “What if it was Dustin Dunklee” and “I have my own agenda to conquer and worry about,” court documents say. This was perceived as a threat against Dunklee’s life.
Dunklee was arrested in Laurie and allegedly making the comment while he was intoxicated and that he “did not think about his wording,” the statement says.
