Texan faces charges for posting Obama death threat
DALLAS — A Dallas man has been charged with threatening to kill President Barack Obama in an online posting.
A criminal complaint indicates Brian Dean Miller was upset about health care reform, citing his March 21 Craigslist post.
The complaint says the 43-year-old has admitted he threatened to kill the president.
It says he called for a revolution and that he was “dedicating (his) life to the death of Obama and every employee of the federal government.”
Agents subpoenaed Craigslist and AT&T to track Miller down.
The complaint says agents arrested Miller and seized his computer March 25. They found no weapons at his home.
He will be arraigned in federal court Friday.
If convicted, Miller faces a maximum five years in prison and $250,000 fine.
