La Crosse man threatens to hire hitman
Woman showed police threatening texts
Prosecutors have accused a La Crosse man of threatening to hire a hitman to kill his roommate.
Rick Lofts was charged with felony intimidation of a victim and felony bail jumping Thursday.
Lofts was arrested after he got into a fight with his roommate on March 15.
After he was released from jail the next day, he began texting the woman and suggested he was going to take out a hit on her.
Lofts was ordered to not contact the woman upon his release. She reported the texts to Lofts’ probation officer Wednesday.
