A 49-year-old Independence man has been arrested and charged with making a felony criminal threat against KMBZ talk radio host Dana Wright.

He was charged last week in Johnson County District Court and appeared in court via Zoom on Thursday. The radio station is in Mission.

Wright showed The Star a message left overnight at the station in March, allegedly from SUSPECT.
