‘I’m very much for shooting police’: local man sentenced to prison for posting social media threats
A Central Ohio man will spend the next several years in federal prison after making numerous threats to shoot law enforcement officers on social media.
Federal investigators said 34 year-old Mt. Vernon man Jerime Graham-Woods was sentenced to 42 months (3.5 years) in federal prison on Feb. 20.
He pleaded guilty last November to two charges: Possession of a Firearm by a Prohibited Person and Interstate Communications with a Threat to Injure.
