$1million bail set for man who threatened Jennifer Brunner and her family

[malaise]

A judge has set bail at $1 million for a man charged with making a death threat against Ohio's elections chief.

Judge David Tyack set bail Saturday at an initial hearing for 51-year-old Dana McArtor of suburban Columbus.

A State Highway Patrol complaint says McArtor called Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner's office from his cell phone Oct. 7 and threatened to assassinate her or her family.

Assistant City Prosecutor Lindsay Broderick says McArtor first told investigators he didn't make the call, then remembered he did.

Franklin County Prosecutor Ron O'Brien asked for the high bond because he believes McArtor is a threat to the Brunner family and to society.

If convicted McArtor faces up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
