A Peoria County man is being accused of stalking and threatening a judge. 44-year-old Jason E. Cohee of Glasford was indicted Tuesday on charges of stalking and threatening a public official.

Authorities say he threatened Circuit Judge Jodi Hoos and her dog. They say he hunted on land near her home.

An arraignment for Cohee is scheduled for March 19. Court records do not list an attorney for him. Jail records say Cohee is being held on $25,000 bond.
