A 71-year-old Frankfort man pleaded guilty Friday to misdemeanor phone harassment charges stemming from an Illinois State Police investigation of numerous voicemail threats to Gov. JB Pritzker’s office March 3.
Timothy Shemitis was sentenced to 24 months of court supervision, fees and fines totaling to $525 and an anger management program, meaning a conviction will not be entered if he completes the supervision successfully, according to Will County court records.
Felony charges of threatening a public official were dismissed.
State police took Shemitis into custody, and he remained in the Will County jail until March 20, when he was sentenced and released.
His attorney, Andrea Neumann with Hirsch Law Group, could not be reached to comment Tuesday.
