"The death threat itself didn’t bother Mike Ehlebracht. He’d been threatened plenty of times before."



"The situation did.

Ehlebracht and his partner were in rural Kansas years ago in the middle of the night with a group of poachers who were high on drugs and shooting deer. Ehlebracht told the group they were TV show producers who planned to open a bar in Wichita. They liked hunting and camouflage and needed cheap meat to serve their patrons.

Sometime in between all of the shooting that night, one of the girlfriends looked Ehlebracht in the eye and told him if he was a cop, they’d kill him and dump him in a well."
