A Sandy-area man who recently had a stalking order filed against him was arrested Tuesday after posting an online ad threatening sheriff's deputies and a Clackamas County judge who signed the document, according to the county sheriff's office.
Jonathan J. Snyders, 39, is scheduled to appear Thursday in Clackamas County Circuit Court on accusations of harassment, stalking and violation of a stalking protective order.
The Craigslist ad was posted Tuesday morning and was still up as of noon on Wednesday. It advertises blinds for $666 and features a photo of someone holding a rifle aimed at a window.
The ad's author mentions Judge Eve Miller and wrote that she is "trying to take a guys home security away."
"I got a little something in mind for you and your crooked blueye Clackamas County sheriff's," the author also wrote.
Several people called the sheriff's office Tuesday and reported seeing the ad, the agency said, and the ad was traced back to Snyders. The rifle in the photo was found when deputies arrested him at his home in the 44000 block of Southeast Keisecker Road.
Miller has been away at a conference since late last week and scheduled to return to the bench on Thursday, said judicial clerk Bonnie Popichak. A woman called the judge's office Tuesday to alert staff to the post. Miller was notified the same day.
Popichak said she recalled the stalking order involving Snyders stemming from a neighbor dispute, but didn't remember when Miller presided over the case.
According to Oregon court records, Snyders has prior convictions in Clackamas County for failure to perform the duties of a driver in 2000 and driving under the influence of intoxicants in 2002. He has various other traffic violations between 1996 and 2008 in Clackamas, Hood River, Multnomah, and Wasco counties.
