threats he intended to act upon when released from the DOC.
“It is horrible that a victim continued to be stalked from the Department of Corrections. Luke’s actions have terrorized this victim for the better part of seven years. I am glad that jurors saw the evidence and convicted Luke,” stated Prosecutor Deddens. Convictions on the Level 6
