Minnesota Labor Union Manager Arrested, Accused of Making Threats of Violence Toward State Capitol

MINNESOTA, JUN 20 – Jonathan Michael Bohn faces felony charges after threatening violence at the Minnesota Capitol following recent attacks on Democratic lawmakers, with a $1 million bond set by the court.

  • Jonathan Michael Bohn, a 41-year-old Minnesota lobbyist from Woodbury, was arrested for sending a threatening text message toward the state Capitol in June 2025.
  • The arrest came after Rep. Jim Nash reported on Wednesday that a constituent received a threatening text message which contained a violent threat related to the Capitol, though it was not directed at any specific lawmaker.
  • The message came days after a shooting spree killed former House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband and injured Senator John Hoffman and his wife, increasing calls for new Capitol security measures.
  • Bohn's spokesperson explained that in the days following violent events affecting his friends and colleagues, he sent intense texts during a difficult time and regrets the words he used.
  • Bohn remained in custody pending a court appearance scheduled for August 27, and if released on bond, must avoid the Capitol and surrender firearms, underscoring heightened security concerns.
