A 47-year-old New Orleans man has been sentenced for making death threats against President Barack Obama.
US District Judge Jay Zainey yesterday sentenced John Turnpaugh to three years in prison for that charge and another five years for possession of marijuana with intent to distribute it and possession of four firearms to aid his drug trafficking.
According to court records, Turnpaugh admitted calling a New Orleans Police Department emergency operator on Dec. 30 and saying he was going to kill the President and his wife. A subsequent investigation by the police and US Secret Service determined that the caller was Turnpaugh.
He pleaded guilty to the charges Feb. 2.
