Authorities: Man threatened to kill Darren Bailey, his family in voicemail
Daily Herald ^ | November 2 , 2022 | Tina Sfondeles

Prosecutors say anger over a political television ad at a bar led a Chicago man to send Republican gubernatorial candidate Darren Bailey a voicemail threatening to mutilate and kill him and his family -- a threat that also prompted a lockdown of schools associated with the state senator and his family.

Bail was set at $75,000 for Scott Lennox, 21, of 3300 N. Lake Shore Drive, who is charged with one felony count each of threatening a public official, telephone harassment and harassment by electronic communications, according to the Cook County State's Attorney's office.

At a Wednesday afternoon hearing, Cook County Judge Susan Ortiz also put Lennox on electronic monitoring and barred him from contacting Bailey, his family or any of his employees.

The voicemail in question followed a fight Lennox had at a Chicago bar after a political ad appeared on the bar's television. The ad -- and repeated ads he had seen during the campaign -- made Lennox "angry," prosecutors said, and a "heated argument" began between Lennox and his friends, leading him to send a voicemail to Bailey's Springfield office, prosecutors said.

From memory, I think North Lake Shore Drive is one of the most expensive neighborhoods in Chicago.

A rich, loud mouth, Democrat, I hope.

He looks like i expected him to look; immature, simpering, panic stricken, prone to girlish, hysterical fits when real life doesn’t function like a pre-programmed, toggled game.

If you have ever seen that old and popular meme of the
‘girl’ saying “Leave Britney Alone!!!!!!”
That is how he looks.

When it appeared onthe news that Bailey and his family were on lockdown after the threats, Lennox bragged about what he did, to his friends. Sent them messages about it with smiley imogees.
