Associated Press LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- A Kentucky man has been arrested and charged with
posting a poem threatening President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama on a white supremacist Web site. The
U.S. Secret Service said Johnny Logan Spencer Jr. of Louisville wrote and posted the poem, titled "The Sniper,"
on a site called NewSaxon.org. Special Agent Stephan M. Pazenzia (PAH-zen-zee-ah) said the poem describes a gunman shooting
and killing a "tyrant," later identified as the president. U.S. Magistrate
Judge Dave Whalin on Friday ordered Spencer released on $25,000 bond, but kept under house arrest at a family member's home.
He's charged with making threats against the president and threatening to kill or injure a major candidate for the office
of the president. His attorney, public defender Laura Wyrosdick (ROS-dick) called the poem protected free speech. |
