Man sentenced to decades in prison for threats made while incarcerated

A Milwaukee man was sentenced Oct. 27 to two decades in prison for numerous instances of harassment, death threats and stalking, committed while he was incarcerated at Green Bay Correctional Institution. The sentence is added to a four-decade prison sentence he has been serving since 2023 on similar charges – meaning Lonny Mayer will likely spend the rest of his life in prison. His earliest possible date for release on extended supervision is in 2070, when he would be 100 years old. "The defendant in this case was a menace who used threats to try to avoid being held accountable,” Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul said in a Nov. 4 statement . “The lengthy sentence he received shows that those who engage in the kind of outrageous conduct that he did face substantial prison time.” A jury convicted Mayer, 56, in May of 23 felonies across two cases. The first, filed in July 2023, was for stalking and abusing a woman he had previously been in a relationship with, and who was the victim in multiple existing criminal cases. The second, from 2024, was for making death threats to a prosecutor. His total sentence for those charges is 20 years
