A United States citizen has found himself in
serious trouble after he threatened to kill
former President Barack Obama.
The man identified as Alex Hernandez, of
Worcester has been sentenced to more than
three years in prison after pleading guilty to
a federal charge of threatening to kill
Obama.
Hernandez pleaded guilty in May to a charge
of threatening to kill and inflict bodily harm
upon Obama when he was president.
Hernandez was sentenced to 37 months
Wednesday, according to a report by AFP.
Federal agents had in 2015 launched an
investigation after intelligence revealed that
Hernandez told another inmate he wanted
to kill Obama in a “lone-wolf style attack.”
the report said.
He will now serve his sentenced together
with the one he is already serving for a
drug-related crime he committed in 2011.
