ESPN - Charge: Ex-Wisconsin Badger threatened Barry Alvarez, Maria Sharapova
According to the complaint, Wisconsin head athletic trainer Denny Helwig told police in September that Taylor had been calling Alvarez's office phone and leaving six to seven disturbing messages each night since the beginning of the football season.
Helwig said the messages weren't threatening, but described them as "bizarre."The employee identified as "LW" told detectives Wednesday that Taylor left 29 voicemails on Alvarez's office phone on Nov. 24 and Nov. 25.The profanity-laced messages accused Sharapova of committing various injustices against him. He said he wanted to marry her and kill her and her family.
Taylor also said he intended to come to Madison and kill Alvarez and his family if unspecified demands weren't met within 24 hours.
"Barry, you heard that [expletive] message, [expletive] it. I hate that [expletive] Maria Sharapova ... I just want to look at you one [expletive] last time before I pull the [expletive] trigger, Barry," one message said.
