SYCAMORE – Bond has been set at $100,000 for a man who police say threatened the DeKalb police chief.

Edwin Darden, 24, of the 8100 block of South Saginaw Avenue in Chicago, was charged Wednesday with threatening a public official after DeKalb Sgt. Jason Leverton said Darden posted several threats online through at least one social media website.

He said several threats were made toward DeKalb Police Chief Gene Lowery and to DeKalb police officers in general during the past week or so.
