Brandon McGill was back in Miami County Municipal Court on Friday morning — one day after allegedly threatening to kill Magistrate Gary Zuhl.

McGill, 35, of Troy, was arraigned before Judge Gary Nasal on a third-degree felony charge of intimidation of a public official.

By way of video from the jail to the courtroom, Judge Nasal set McGill’s cash bond at $50,000.

Thursday, McGill was arraigned on charges of resisting arrest and assault. His cash bond was set at $30,000.

He then told the Magistrate he was going to “kill him” when he gets out of jail, according to court documents.

He later told a Miami County Deputy who took the report that “Yes, I meant it.”

McGill claimed he was upset in court on Thursday because he “was charged with something he didn’t do.”
