On Tuesday, Strohscher reportedly sent messages on Facebook Messenger to another person. In them, he “threatened to ‘unalive’ political figures” over a bill passing through the Senate that he was “unhappy” about, according to Toledo Municipal Court records.
Court documents did not mention any specific politicians. They also didn’t state if Strohscher specifically named any politicians in his messages.
Strohscher was released on a supervised own recognizance bond Thursday morning.
He’s scheduled to be back in court in August.
