UPDATE @ 1:30 p.m. (Feb. 9)
Devin Wilson, 24, of Dayton has been formally charged in a threat made against a juvenile court judge, said Montgomery County Prosecuting Attorney Mat Heck, Jr. in a release.
The alleged threat against Juvenile Court Judge Anthony Capizzi was made on Feb. 2 on social media under the alias of "Ball Meezy," the release said.
Wilson is charged with one count intimidation, a third‐degree felony. His case will now be presented to a grand jury.
Wilson is currently on probation for a drug trafficking offense.
Heck’s release said his office will be seeking that Wilson be taken off probation and sentenced to 18 months in prison.
"The defendant, on probation for less than one month, threatened a judge about a case, which is an assault on the entire criminal justice system. We have to take these matters very seriously, whether someone is threatening a judge, a prosecutor, a police
officer, or any other court officer,” Heck said in a release.

Wilson was on probation after pleading guilty in January to aggravated trafficking of drugs. Wilson received five years’ community control as part of a plea in which a charge of trafficking of cocaine was dropped.
If found guilty of violating his probation, Wilson could face 18 months in prison plus whatever sanction is imposed if he is found guilty of a crime, according to a judge’s ruling in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court.
