York told Tingler that he should not make threats, saying Tingler “knows better.” Tingler said York could not prove that he made threats and said that since he has been accused of making threats in the past, he should “make good on his threats.” The report said Tingler then tried to ask York to look past this incident, saying “if you were smart, you would” and repeated it several times. York then ended the call. Following the call, York informed Ottawa County Sheriff Steve Levorchick of the incident and would eventually be instructed by the prosecutor’s office to seek third-degree felony retaliation charges against Tingler.
