Held for threat to kill Obama

Washington: A man accused of making threatening statements about killing U.S. President Barack Obama has been arrested in Nevada, said the Secret Service.

Daniel James Murray was arrested on Friday night in the parking lot of the Riverside Resort Hotel and Casino in Laughlin, Nevada, said Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley.

The 36-year-old man recently withdrew $85,000 from a bank in St. George, Utah, in two separate visits and told a teller, “We are on a mission to kill the President of the United States,” CNN quoted a criminal complaint filed in federal court in Utah.
