An ex-K&L Gates corporate partner who alleged in a lawsuit that the firm dispatched armed private investigators to harass him after his ouster has been arrested for allegedly sending a deluge of “threatening and intimidating” messages to former co-workers. 

Federal authorities took Willie Dennis, 59, into custody this past week in the Dominican Republic on charges that he engaged in a “campaign of harassment, intimidation, and threats” against victims that include K&L partners, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
