A woman who was about to be released from an Idaho
prison will stay behind bars a while longer because federal prosecutors
say she mailed a threatening stick figure drawing to a relative.
Linda Joyce Lakes
was serving time at the Pocatello Women's Correctional Center on
probation violations stemming from a 2007 grand theft sentence, and she
was scheduled to be released last Friday. But earlier this month, the
U.S. attorney's office charged her with mailing threatening
communications, a felony.
Prosecutors say that in 2010, Lakes
mailed a drawing that apparently depicted a battered stick figure
alongside threatening phrases such as "No tears," ''No hiding," and "No
more you."
Kyle Wright, an FBI agent in Pocatello who investigated the case, described the drawing in a court document.
"One
stick figure appeared to be lying down with his face smashed. The
baseball bat was lying nearby with damage that appeared to be consistent
with its use on the first stick figure. The second stick figure
appeared to be walking away with a smile," Wright wrote.

She's lucky she didn't think to draw a turban on the stick figure or she would've had a bounty on her head.
I appreciate her imagination. I hope that she doesn't get in too much trouble over it.
