Claiming a DuPage County judge s scolding made him cry, Jonovan Brown allegedly threatened to get even by killing the judge.

The judge made me cry. I m going to make him cry I m going to kill him, prosecutor Diane Michalak quoted Brown as saying after he was taken from Judge Robert Kleeman s courtroom recently.

Brown, 20, was in court for an animal cruelty charge and threatening a man and a woman who had witnessed that alleged abuse.

The Villa Park man now is facing something else that could make him shed tears he s been charged with threatening a public official, a felony that could send him to prison for up to five years.

A grand jury indicted Brown this week for allegedly making the threat against Kleeman after a March 12 bond hearing.

During that hearing, Kleeman warned Brown he would find him in contempt of court if Brown continued to disrupt the proceedings with verbal outbursts.

A tearful Brown allegedly made the threat to officers who had taken him out of the courtroom following the hearing, Michalak said
