DENVER-A Colorado man has been indicted on charges of threatening to kill President Barack Obama and blow up the Mall of America in suburban Minneapolis.
A federal grand jury in Denver handed up the indictment Tuesday against 20-year-old Timothy Ryan Gutierrez of Cortez, in southwestern Colorado.
The U.S. attorney’s office said Gutierrez turned himself in at the FBI’s Durango office Thursday afternoon and was being held without bond.
He was to appear in court Friday afternoon. Gutierrez had no listed phone number and it was not immediately known if he had an attorney.
“Both threats were taken seriously, and both threats were investigated immediately by the FBI,” said Jeff Dorschner, spokesman for acting U.S. Attorney Dave Gaouette.
