Ky. Man Charged With Threatening President
KENTUCKY....
On Friday, 27 year old Johnny Logan Spencer Jr. of Louisville was ordered released on $25,000 bond, but kept under house arrest at a family member’s home after being charged with making threats against President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama. A U.S. Secret Service Special Agent says, in August 2007, Spencer Jr. wrote and posted a poem, titled "The Sniper," on a page called NewSaxon.org. which is described as an "Online Community for Whites by Whites." The poem describes a gunman shooting and killing a "tyrant" later identified as the president, setting off panic in the wake of the fatal shot being fired. Spencer is currently on probation for a state drug conviction in Louisville, and, if convicted of the new charges, could face up to 15 years in prison.
