LEBANON, Ohio

A prison guard in southwest Ohio has been fired after allegedly making threats about Ohio Gov. John Kasich on the guard’s Facebook page.

Jessie Hubbard, of Trenton, was fired from the Lebanon Correctional Institution Tuesday , after an investigation into his posting of the comment on the social networking site, prison spokeswoman Ellen Myers confirmed Friday.

Hubbard’s termination notice says that he posted “Ok we got Bin Laden ... let’s go after Kasich next. Who’s with me?” on the social networking site, the Middletown Journal first reported.
