LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) – A Nebraska inmate has pleaded guilty to threatening President Barack Obama.
Loren Hamlin, of McCook, was indicted in November with making threats against the president. Federal prosecutors say he sent a letter from prison saying he would “track down” and kill the president.
Hamlin pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Lincoln last Friday. He faces up to 5 years in prison when he’s sentenced in April.
Hamlin is currently serving 3-to-5 years in prison for burglary in McCook in 2010.
