Toledoan pleads guilty to harassment by phone

7/24/2008

BOWLING GREEN A Toledo man who made threatening phone calls to the Islamic Center of Greater Toledo in Perrysburg Township pleaded guilty Tuesday to a reduced charge of telecommunications harassment, a misdemeanor.

Wendall Hollis, 40, of 2700 Pelham Rd. had been charged with making a terrorist threat, a felony, for placing the calls last December.

Wood County Common Pleas Judge Robert Pollex sentenced Mr. Hollis to 180 days in the county jail but gave him credit for the 118 days he has served.

The judge suspended the remaining days for one year on the condition that Mr. Hollis, who said he planned to move out of the area, commits no similar offenses.
