The former University of Wisconsin football player who threatened to kill Athletic Director Barry Alvarez in November will be treated at a state hospital after he was declared incompetent to stand trial Jan. 2.

Leonard Taylor, 32, was ordered to undergo psychiatric evaluation in December after being charged with stalking and telephone harassment.

Results of the evaluation indicated he is not fit to stand prosecution. When asked by Dane County Circuit Judge Juan Colas during trial, Taylor voiced his agreement with the psychiatrist’s finding.

Taylor will be required to undergo psychiatric treatment including the use of medications until he is found competent to continue the trial.

In a criminal complaint, Taylor’s father stated his son had been previously diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic. At the time of his arrest, he had been off his medication for three months and had not been visiting his therapist.

Even after contact with police, Taylor repeatedly refused hospitalization.

According to state Department of Justice spokesperson Bill Cosh, the Dane County Court on behalf of Alvarez issued a formal injunction against Taylor Dec. 12.

The injunction states there is “clear and convincing evidence that the respondent/defendant may use a firearm to cause physical harm to another or endanger public safety” and prohibits Taylor from contacting or approaching Alvarez or his family.

Taylor was arrested after making at least 29 threatening phone calls to Alvarez’s office over a two-day period in November.

The calls threatened the lives of Alvarez and his family, along with that of professional tennis player Maria Sharapova.

“And I’m going to kill you first,” Taylor said to Alvarez in a voicemail. “I’ve got 24 goddamn hours. … I’m coming for your goddamn ass.”

Taylor made the calls from his home in Indianapolis. He had called the Athletic Department on several occasions dating back to fall 2007. He will remain in prison with a cash bail set at $5,000.

District Attorney Brian Blanchard declined to comment on the case.
