A Canton man awaiting sentencing on a federal firearm charge has threatened to kill police officers when he gets out of prison, according to prosecutors.
Matthew P. Slatzer, 36, drew Gov. Mike DeWine s ire earlier in the pandemic when he reportedly displayed an anti-Semitic sign at a protest against restrictions and orders related to COVID-19.
Slatzer s sentencing on a firearm-related charge had been set for Thursday but it s being delayed until later this month because the defense wants an opportunity to review phone calls the defendant made in prison in which he allegedly said he wanted to smuggle a gun into prison and then kill police after he s released.
