NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A Tennessee man was arrested Saturday after allegedly threatening President Obama and state employees in a voicemail to the TN Office of Homeland Security.
WKRN News 2 reports that Jimmie Johnson, 45, of Ardmore, TN left the messages July 11 and threatened to blow up Nashville International Airport. He also threatened former presidential candidate Mitt Romney and former vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan.
In the message, Johnson can be heard saying he would “light up Nashville” and “I will come with an AK and kill all you [expletive].”
A call records request was made in order to identify Johnson, who reportedly admitted to leaving the messages when he was interviewed by state agents and Secret Service agents.
Johnson was booked into the Metro jail and charged with harassment. His bond was set at $25,000.
