A man who allegedly called his presiding judge a “Nazi” has been charged with harassment and obstruction.

Butler Township Police on Sunday arrested Daniel C. Jones, 62, of Emlenton, on three misdemeanor charges, two counts of harassment and one count of obstruction.

Jones was arraigned Sunday night by District Judge Sue Haggerty, following which he was placed in Butler County Prison on $75,000 bond.

According to charging documents, Jones is accused of sending an accusatory letter to Judge Timothy F. McCune and the judge's neighbors as well as being involved in an incident last week near the courthouse.

“The letters sent are a clear demonstration of Jones' intent to harass, interfere, obstruct, impede and influence Judge McCune prior to fulfilling his duty to sentence Jones for the DUI case he is presiding over,” police said.
