Poll: Almost half in U.S. creationist
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Aug. 10 (UPI) -- A North Carolina accountant faces federal charges of threatening to kill likely Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama, officials said.
Jerry Blanchard of Indian Trail allegedly described a plan before two witnesses at a Charlotte restaurant July 15 to buy a handgun, rifle and laser scope. According to court documents he allegedly called the Illinois senator the "anti-Christ," reported WCNC-TV Sunday. Secret Service agents were contacted two weeks later when another witness alleged Blanchard made similar threats at a local hotel.
Blanchard has denied making any of the statements, according to his attorney, who said that his client has suffered a concussion from a fall and been ordered by a judge to undergo a psychiatric evaluation.
