ORIGINAL: Lucylastic Federal authorities on Thursday charged a Tomah man with making threats to kill President Barack Obama during his visit to La Crosse Thursday. 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. Dutcher was being kept in a mental health facility under a civil commitment sought by authorities in La Crosse County, U.S. Attorney John Vaudreuil said Thursday from La Crosse, where he was greeting Obama. Dutcher 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.” Dutcher was interviewed by the Secret Service on Wednesday, when authorities said he confirmed the statement and said he had made similar statements on his Facebook page. According to the affidavit, on Tuesday Dutcher wrote on his Facebook page, “That’s it! Thursday I will be in La Crosse. Hopefully I will get a clear shot at the pretend president. Killing him is our CONSTITUTIONAL DUTY!” Dutcher told a La Crosse police detective that his threat was serious and he would not have said what he said if he didn’t intend to carry it out, the affidavit states. The threat was not publicly visible on Dutcher’s Facebook page on Thursday, but he did comment to friends in another post: “I have been praying on going to D.C. for 3 months and now the upsurper is coming HERE. saving me a 800 mile trip. doing what I do for my daughter, so she can live free. pray for me to succeed in my mission.” He added, “secret service is probably tracking my phone right now. I do not hide what I am doing, CONSTITUTIONALY.” Read more: http://host.madison.com/news/local/crime_and_courts/tomah-man-charged-with-threatening-to-kill-barack-obama-in/article_1c805150-e7a5-5d0c-b514-eb4a206b01af.html#ixzz3espK7CGS [Mod edit to change the title.] At least he manned up and didn't hide from the truth. Glad he wasn't able to take the shot.
