Showing Original Post only (View all)Concealed carry holder arrested for threatening President Obama [View all]
Well done.
A Clarks Summit man accused of threatening to kill President Barack Obama had two weapons, one of which was a loaded AR-15, 11,000 rounds of ammunition, a long-range scope and training manuals on long-range shooting, federal court records show.
Nicholas D. Savino, 42, 328 Melrose Ave., was indicted Tuesday by a federal grand jury in Scranton on charges of threatening to kill the president of the United States and transmitting communication in interstate commerce because he threatened the president via email.
Mr. Savino also held a permit to carry concealed firearms, issued by Lackawanna County in November. The license will be revoked, Dominick Manetti, chief deputy of the Lackawanna County sheriff's office, said Friday. Revocation is standard for anyone accused of a crime, he said.
The U.S. attorney's office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania said Thursday that Mr. Savino sent an email to the White House on Aug. 16 that read: "President Obama is the Anti-Christ. As a result of breaking the constitution you will stand down or be shot dead. This will be sent to militias throughout the country and the media. Nick Savino."
