US man sentenced for threatening Obama

A Mississippi man has been sentenced to 10 months in prison for threatening to kill President Barack Obama and blow up a hospital that refused surgery for his wife. David Williams was arrested in July after University of Mississippi Medical Centre officials reported the threat. He pleaded guilty August 31.
The Secret Service has said Williams called the hospital to schedule surgery for his wife. When Williams was told the hospital wouldn't do the surgery, he threatened to blow up it up and kill the president. A spokeswoman for the US attorney's office said the 45-year-old Williams was also sentenced to three years of supervised release and alcohol and anger management classes. He will get credit for the time he's been in jail.
