AP Report in the Night::::
( Presser planner for tuesday afternoon)
DENVER - Federal authorities are looking into reports that a man arrested with rifles, ammunition and drugs in his truck may have made threats against Barack Obama, officials said.
Two other men were arrested in the case on Monday.
"It's premature to say that it was a valid threat or that these folks have the ability to carry it out," said a U.S. government official familiar with the investigation. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.
Obama will be in Denver later this week to accept the Democratic nomination for president.
FBI spokeswoman Kathy Wright confirmed the FBI was investigating the reports but declined to elaborate. The Joint Information Center - a command set up by Denver, state and federal authorities to field media inquiries during the Democratic convention - said it had no immediate comment.
Tharin Gartrell, 28, was arrested during a traffic stop early Sunday by police in the eastern Denver suburb of Aurora. In his truck, officers found two rifles, including one with a scope; a bulletproof vest; boxes of ammunition; walkie-talkies; and suspected narcotics, said Aurora police Detective Marcus Dudley.
Police alerted federal authorities, who soon arrested Nathan Johnson, 32, at a hotel in Denver, Dudley said. A third man, Shawn Robert Adolf, 33, was arrested at a suburban Glendale hotel, Dudley said.
Adolf allegedly tried to escape officers by jumping from a sixth-floor window. He was hospitalized and was being held on $1 million bond for several outstanding warrants involving drug charges. Johnson also was being held on drug charges and his bond was unknown, Dudley said.
It was not known if the three men had attorneys, Dudley said.
Dudley didn't say what tied the men together but that more arrests were possible. One of the rifles was stolen, and authorities had traced it to Kansas, Dudley said. He declined to say to whom it belonged.
Aurora police alerted federal officials because of heightened security surrounding the Democratic convention, Dudley said.
"Clearly we found there are federal implications - otherwise we would not have notified them," he said. "The weapons clearly would cause great concern."
U.S. Attorney Troy Eid said the case was under investigation. "We're absolutely confident there is no credible threat to the candidate, the Democratic National Convention, or the people of Colorado," Eid said in a statement.
Officials with the FBI, Secret Service, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, and Aurora police set a news conference for Tuesday afternoon.
Law enforcers in Denver are trying to find out whether the reported threats to Obama were valid. "It could also turn out that these were nothing but a bunch of knuckleheads, meth-heads," the U.S. government official said.

This is very scary. I just emailed you a couple other things I did not see on TV tonight.
Meth head might carry guns, but bullet proof vests & walkie talkies? nope.
semi-related topic: when obama named biden on saturday, did you notice that only the wives appeared w/the candidates on stage at the end? I was waiting for the big family group photo: kids, grandkids, parents, etc. I had a paranoid thought that maybe there was a security risk for them not to have that traditional PR feel-good shot. Now I'm wondering ...
Redneck pieces of shit.
I would love to have a few minutes to "educate" these assholes on why they should never threaten anybody, much less Barack Obama.
One of those arrested, named another person (the 3rd suspect), he had a kind of *white trash* ambiance. He was quoted as saying "No Black should run this country".
At least he turned in another person of interest. But that remark sends shivers.
Such race hate ~ where does it come from?
I posted on it too. It needs to get out there. The MSM is not covering it yet.
I have nothing really to say except sadly we as Bloggers need to post...
And MSNBC is reporting, and CNN"no credible threat" WTF??
EVE News should be checked to see what is being said...and revealed- last night they had said there was going to be a Afternoon presser..
BUT nothing...as of 1pm..
I am hoping that they are "chatting" with these three fellows and getting more info....the one guy apparently "fell" out a window trying to escape....6 stories- he is in a hospital...I am sure he was probally chatted up...I would suspect that there will be more arrests...I hope...
walkie talkies are not Methhead Gear....or sniper rifles...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And during the War on "terra" - why are the White Supremicists NOT treated as a Terra threat...they are HERE in big numbers and more dangerous...
The guy that fell out the window is being held on $1million bail. The others $50K ea. Does that mean he is the main one under suspicion or that he needs protection?
The FBI is supposed to give a public stmnt about 4PM Denver time (Mountain time). I wonder if any local Denver TV affiliates will be showing it? I'm gonna look online at KCNC Channel 4 in Denver.
