| 3 WHITE SUPREMACISTS ARRESTED FOR OBAMA DEATH THREAT |
 |
Tuesday, August 26, 2008
DENVER - Authorities are investigating
whether a man arrested with rifles,
ammunition and drugs in his truck made
statements threatening Barack Obama, but
emphasize he never posed a "credible threat"
to the presidential candidate or the
Democratic National Convention.
Federal and local authorities had scheduled a
news conference for Tuesday afternoon, but
U.S. Attorney Troy Eid downplayed the case.
"We're absolutely confident there is no
credible threat to the candidate, the
Democratic National Convention, or the people
of Colorado," Eid said in a statement.
FBI spokeswoman Kathy Wright confirmed the
FBI was investigating reports the man had
threatened Obama, who will be in Denver this
week to accept the Democratic nomination for
president. The Joint Information Center — a
command set up by city, state and federal
authorities to field media inquiries during
the Democratic convention — said it had no
immediate comment.
One of the men arrested told KCNC-TV in
Denver that others involved in the case had
made racist statements regarding Obama and
had discussed killing Obama on the day of his
nomination acceptance speech.
When asked if he felt there was a plot to
kill Obama, Nathan Johnson said, "Looking
back at it, I don't want to say yes, but I
don't want to say no." Johnson was
interviewed while being held in jail on drug
charges. He said he wasn't involved in any
plot.
Truck swerving erratically
The action started around 1:30 a.m. Sunday
when police in the eastern suburb of Aurora
stopped a truck that was swerving
erratically. The driver, 28-year-old Tharin
Gartrell, had a suspended driver's license,
and the truck was rented in the name of
another person, said Aurora police Detective
Marcus Dudley.
In the truck, officers found two rifles,
including one with a scope; a bulletproof
vest; boxes of ammunition; walkie-talkies;
and suspected narcotics, Dudley said.
Aurora police, on edge because of heightened
security surrounding the Democratic
convention in Denver, alerted federal
authorities.
Three hours later, at 4:30 a.m. Sunday,
federal agents arrested Johnson, 32, at a
hotel in Denver. He was being held on drug
charges, Dudley said.
A half-hour after that, 33-year-old Shawn
Robert Adolf jumped from a sixth-story window
when authorities tried to arrest him at a
hotel in suburban Glendale, police said.
Adolf was hospitalized and was being held on
$1 million bond for several outstanding
warrants involving drug charges.
Dudley didn't say what tied the men together
but said more arrests were possible. One of
the rifles was stolen, and authorities had
traced it to Kansas, Dudley said.
It wasn't known if the three men had
attorneys, Dudley said.
Dudley said Gartrell was being investigated
for methamphetamine and firearms violations.
Gartrell, who has no known address, was being
held at the Arapahoe County jail on $50,000
bail on drug and weapons charges. The jail
said he was due in court Thursday.
