A Dayton man was indicted in federal court after making
threats over social media to kill people.
Jason Davon Stovall, 38, was indicted on four counts of
making threats over interstate communications.
Stovall made numerous posts to the Ohio Lottery Commission’s
Facebook page between June 28 and July 7 in which he threatened to kill people,
according to court documents.
This case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney
Brian Deckert following an investigation by the FBI and Ohio State Highway
Patrol.
If convicted, the defendant’s sentence will be determined by
the court after reviewing factors unique to this case, including the
defendant’s prior criminal record, if any, the defendant’s role in the offense,
and the characteristics of the violation.
In all cases, the sentence will not exceed the statutory maximum and in
most cases, it will be less than the maximum.
An indictment is only a charge and is not evidence of
guilt. A defendant is entitled to a fair
trial, in which it will be the government’s burden to prove guilt beyond a
reasonable doubt.
