Police: Utah man threatened mayor over stay-at-home order

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A Utah man was arrested after police say he threatened a civil war if Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall refused to lift the city’s lockdown. Marlin Richard Baer was arrested Friday on suspicion of making a terrorist threat and electronic communication harassment. He was booked into jail before he could attend a rally Saturday that he referenced in his call that ended up drawing an estimated 1,000 people protesting the city’s stay-at-home order that has been in place since March 29.  Baer had not yet been charged Monday. It’s unknown if he has an attorney.
