A Cross Plains child care provider who allegedly sent email threats to 15 Republican state senators over their support for limiting public worker collective bargaining rights.

Windels was charged March 31 with two felony bomb scare counts and two misdemeanor counts of sending a computer message threatening injury or harm.

A criminal complaint charged that on March 9, Windels sent a message to the 15 Republican senators that began by telling them to get their "things in order because you will be killed and your families will also be killed due to your actions in the last 8 weeks."

The complaint alleges that Windels used an email account that was set up in the name of another woman to make the threats.
