LANSING - A Clare County man has pleaded guilty to threatening public officials and will serve probation, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced today.
Earlier this year, Daniel Thompson, 63, was charged with three counts of malicious use of a service provided by a telecommunications service provider, a six-month misdemeanor and/or a $1,000 fine. Two of the charges were in Livingston County, the third was in Clare County.
The Attorney General's office alleged that Thompson made threatening remarks in voicemails, emails and phone conversations involving the offices of U.S. Sen. Debbie Stabenow and U.S. Rep. Elissa Slotkin.
Last month, Thompson pleaded guilty to the two counts in Livingston County.

Judge Shauna N. Murphy of Livingston County's 53H District Court sentenced Thompson to the following terms this afternoon:
"My office will not stand for threatening behavior directed at our public officials," Nessel said. "I recognize Mr. Thompson's admission of guilt and appreciate my team's work to ensure there's accountability in this case. Public servants must be able to do their jobs free from intimidation and fear."
The charge in Clare County will be dismissed as part of the plea agreement.
Thompson was also ordered to pay a $200 fine and costs and fees totaling $1,765.
