A Salinas man is now slated to be sentenced march 24th , to 5 years in a state prison. That after Joshua Cook pleaded “No Contest” to a felony charge of communicating a criminal threat that also qualified as a hate crime. Cook placed 4 calls last year to his mother’s physician in which he threatened the physician and her staff. He said he did that because his mother’s doctor recommended that she stay away from anyone exhibiting signs or symptoms of illness.
