Bentleyville Man Held For Court On Threat Charges

A Bentleyville man had a preliminary hearing on Wednesday facing terroristic threats and harassment charges. Joshua Levers, 40 waived his charges to court. The criminal complaint states that Levers sent threatening and lewd text messages to his victim earlier in March. The victim, a relative, indicated that he sent nude photos of himself and threatened sexual violent acts on them if they did not comply with his request for articles of their clothing. Levers remains in the Washington County Jail unable to post a $150,000 bond. He will be arraigned April 27.
