Three people charged with threatening judge, witness and officials tied to Nolan Wells investigation

Three individuals from Illinois, Ohio, and California were charged with threatening a judge, witness, and local officials involved in the investigation into the death of 18-year-old Nolan Xavier Wells, a Black teenager found dead after a July Fourth boat trip with white friends. The threats occurred amid public scrutiny and distrust of the investigation, which has not yet identified suspects or determined the cause of death, though an independent autopsy found it 'undetermined' pending further analysis.
