Michael Bertolino, Jr., 35, of Adena, Ohio, was sentenced Friday after pleading guilty in July 2021 to conspiracy to possess with intent to distribute marijuana, discharging a firearm during a drug trafficking crime and cyberstalking.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Ohio, Bertolino used social media platforms, text messages and a GPS system to cyberstalk a victim throughout 2020. Prosecutors say Bertolino created social media accounts to post derogatory statements and comments on the accounts of the victim, as well as the victim’s friends and family members.

Prosecutors say Bertolino also used a text messaging app to send the victim thousands of messages from what appeared to be 19 different phone numbers. In the messages, he threatened to kill the victim and those involved with the victim, and promised to post compromising pictures of the victim online.

Motorists might catch a break: Ohio considers gas tax cut, lower hybrid registration feesProposed bill would reduce gas tax rates in Ohio and eliminate annual registration fees for hybrid and electric cars.
