United States v. Lemke, No. 11-2662 (7th Cir. 2012)
Annotate this CaseLemke met a woman while working as a serviceman in her home, pursued her, and eventually left threatening telephone messages for her. He also left threatening messages with the woman’s attorney and with men who shared the same name as a man the woman had dated. He ignored warnings from the FBI and was seen at the woman’s place of employment. He resisted arrest and was found to have a gun and ammunition and maps of the woman’s home. Convicted of violating 18 U.S.C. 875(c), which prohibits transmitting threatening communications in interstate commerce, Lemke was sentenced to 24 months’ imprisonment. The Seventh Circuit affirmed, noting that the sentence was below-guidelines and that Lemke’s actions were “disturbing and frightening.”
