Tony Young has been ordered held without bail after authorities charged him with felony electronic harassment stemming from the alleged May 8 message, the Chicago Tribune reports.

The Tribune report did not name the meteorologist, who Robert Feder says is Cheryl Scott.

Prosecutors said Young, who was arrested Saturday in Chicago's Burnside neighborhood, violated his probation by sending the message.
