Indictment For Man Accused Of Threatening Central Illinois Cop

A southern Illinois man's bad night at a central Illinois strip club just got a lot worse.
A Woodford County grand jury has indicted Derek Phillips of West Frankfort Illinois for threatening to kill a central Illinois deputy and his family.  Phillips ended-up in the back of a Woodford County squad car after he was kicked out of the Kappa Kabana strip club.  That's when police say Phillips started kicking the car windows and threatening the deputy and the deputy's family.  The indictment is for felony criminal damage to government-supported property and threatening a public official.  The charges carry up to five years in prison.
