The police force that guards Indiana's capitol buildings is investigating harassing phone calls and email messages directed against the Indiana Supreme Court following a ruling last week by the high court on police authority.
The Times of Munster reports that State Capitol Police say the communications are being reviewed as part of a criminal harassment investigation. Police would not say how many calls and messages have been received or whether they were addressed to a specific justice.
Supreme Court spokeswoman Kathryn Dolan says the threats contained in the calls and emails were "primarily" directed at police officers. She declined to give specific details.
The threats come after the high court ruled Thursday that Indiana residents have no right to resist unlawful police entry into their homes.
