Ind. Courts - "Indiana State Capitol Police are investigating harassing phone calls and email messages directed to the Indiana Supreme Court following a controversial ruling issued last Thursday"
Dan Carden's NWI Times report from late this afternoon continues:
Police would not say how many calls and messages have been received or whether they were addressed to a specific justice. But the communications are being reviewed as part of a criminal harassment investigation, police said.Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathryn Dolan said the threats contained in the calls and emails were "primarily" directed at police officers.
"We obviously want to protect the safety of our employees and alert police to individuals who might be dangerous, so we contacted Capitol Police," Dolan said. "Because they are investigating, I am not able to give more specific information."
