A convicted felon was arrested Sunday morning in Old Hickory after authorities identified him as the owner of a social media account that allegedly sent death threats to retired Davidson County Judge Stanley Kweller.
Detectives from the Specialized Investigations Division began investigating the threats in May. The messages were reportedly linked to a January custody decision in which Michael Wortham lost his parental rights. Judge Kweller retired shortly after presiding over that case.
Detectives located the 31-year-old sleeping in his vehicle near his last known address in Davidson County on Sunday, Dec. 29.
Wortham was taken into custody and booked on outstanding warrants for aggravated stalking and retaliation for past actions.
