Wisconsin man charged with threatening to kill Obama in La Crosse

Source: The Wisconsin State Journal

By Ed Treleven, The Wisconsin State Journal on Jul 2, 2015 at 9:15 p.m.

Federal authorities on Thursday charged a Tomah man with making threats to kill President Barack Obama during his visit to La Crosse today.

A warrant was issued for Brian D. Dutcher, 55, who was charged Thursday with making a threat to kill the president. The threat was made in La Crosse on Wednesday, according to documents filed in U.S. District Court in Madison.

U.S. Attorney John Vaudreuil said Thursday that Dutcher was being kept in a mental health facility under a civil commitment sought by authorities in La Crosse County. He is not scheduled to appear in federal court.

On Wednesday, according to an affidavit written by Secret Service Special Agent Jeffrey Ferris, Dutcher approached a security guard at the La Crosse Public Library and said, "The usurper is here and if I get a chance I'll take him out and I'll take the shot."

and probably Vickie McKenna. Hate radio in Wisconsin runs 24/7. Conservanazis in Wisconsin can spew some hate out. He's probably a conservanazi gunnut hunter. So then, they'll take away his guns. Damn. I just hate that when that happens.

Brian D. Dutcher, 55, is accused of threatening to kill President Barack Obama.

......Dutcher also told a La Crosse detective that his threat was serious and that "he would not have said what he said if he didn't intend to carry it out."

A law enforcement official said Friday that Dutcher had been arrested and is currently being held pending initial appearance.

While threats against the White House and Obama are relatively common occurrences, Thursday's arrest warrant comes amid increased security measures leading into the July 4 holiday weekend and concerns of a terrorist threat.
