DNA Links Suspect to Threats Against Judge

Looks like investigators may have their man. DNA tests connect 74 year old John Aston of Reno, to threats made against Carson City Judge John Tatro. Aston has been a person of interest in the case for weeks, pending DNA results. The threats against the judge date back to 2012, and include a shot fired through the front door, a threatening card sent to the judge and his wife, and even a botched firebombing attempt.  The exact motive behind the threats isn’t clear, but Aston appeared before the judge for a speeding ticket in 2005, and a concealed weapons charge in 2011.
