Man sentenced to 10 months for threat to kill Obama

A Mississippi man has been sentenced to 10 months in prison for threatening to kill US President Barack Obama and blow up a hospital that refused surgery for his wife.

David Williams was arrested in July after officials at the University of Mississippi Medical Center reported the threat. He pleaded guilty.

The Secret Service has said Williams called the hospital to schedule surgery for his wife.

When Williams was told the hospital would not do the surgery, he threatened to blow up it up and kill the President.
