FEDERAL WAY, Wash. (AP) -- Authorities have arrested a Washington state man after he allegedly made emailed threats against President Barack Obama.
Secret Service spokesman Brian Leary identified the man as 31-year-old Anton Caluori. He was arrested Tuesday afternoon in suburban Federal Way for investigation of making threats against the president and assault on a federal officer.
Federal Way police spokeswoman Cathy Schrock says a Secret Service agent and a Federal Way officer went to an apartment after the FBI alerted the Secret Service to the threats.
Schrock says they found a man who pointed a shotgun at them, and officers disarmed and arrested him. She says no explosives were found in the area.
Caluori is scheduled to appear Wednesday in federal court in Seattle.
