Prosecutors in Eau Claire are dismissing the charges against the man who threatened the city’s school board president, because he’s already in prison.
A judge this week dismissed the case against 33-year-old Jeremy Hanson from California. Investigators say he threatened school board president Tim Nordin back in March over Eau Claire Schools’ policy on gender transitions. Hanson is serving time in federal prison for a similar threat in another case.
Prosecutors here say there’s no need to move ahead with the local case.
