He shared few details about the nature of the threat or how long Brown has been under police protection, saying that while police are “very close” to being able to release more information, disclosing further details at this point could jeopardize the investigation.
“We have received and are investigating a threat that was made not just against the mayor, but his family as well,” Milinovich said….
