MADISON — A state prison inmate was sentenced Wednesday to two years in prison for sending a letter threatening to behead the Fond du Lac County district attorney.

James H. Luke, 29, wrote to District Attorney Eric Toney from the Waupun Correctional Institution in March 2016, saying in part: “I am going to personally decapitate you and mail your head in a box to the local news,” according to a news release from Dodge County District Attorney Kurt Klomberg, who prosecuted the case.
