According to the Los Angeles Times:
Authorities have arrested a man who they say told bank tellers in Utah that he was on a mission to kill President Obama.
Daniel James Murray, 36, was arrested Friday outside a casino in Laughlin, Nev., according to the Secret Service.
Murray made bizarre statements last month while opening -- and then closing within two weeks -- an $85,000 savings account at Zions First National Bank in St. George, Utah, the Secret Service said in documents filed Thursday.
Asst. U.S. Atty. Barbara Bearnson said Murray was in federal custody in Nevada. Neither Bearnson nor the Secret Service would discuss whether Murray was considered to be a serious threat.
The criminal complaint says Murray, originally from Rexford, N.Y., is the registered owner of eight guns.
He was described by his father and former neighbors in Rexford as troubled but not dangerous. He was known for strolling down a street wearing a cape and talking to himsel
It is pretty clear that this particular individual was a mentally ill and disturbed person who had very little chance of carrying out his insane ane vile plot.
This does, however, worry me. This is already the second time someone has targeted Obama. How many more are out there who may do so ... and how dangerous might they be?
This man is our President, and so far he's doing a very fine job. I hope and pray that he stays safe and that none of these lunatics can get near him.
