A Milwaukee man has pleaded guilty to threatening Gov. Scott Walker's adult son on Twitter.
Online court records show Robert Peffer pleaded guilty Friday to four misdemeanor counts of using a computer to send threatening or obscene messages.
Judge Dennis Flynn sentenced him to 90 days in jail and ordered him to pay a $1,000 fine on the first count. He stayed 90-day jail stints on the other three counts in lieu of probation. The judge also banned Peffer from using social media for anything besides looking for work.
Prosecutors have said the tweets to Matthew Walker, a Marquette University student, in June 2014. Over a span of six days Peffer sent 36 tweets threatening violence to Matthew Walker or making lewd sexual references about him and his family.
