CLEVELAND (Reuters) - An Ohio man arrested for allegedly threatening President Barack Obama and Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made an initial appearance in federal court on Wednesday.

The suspect, Jonathan Smead, 35, of Cleveland, called a Secret Service office late on Sunday and asked if the call was being recorded, according to an affidavit. He then said, “I want to kill President Obama.”

Smead asked if threatening the president was a federal offense and said he also wanted to kill Clinton, a former secretary of state, the court document said.

Secret Service agents and Cleveland police arrested Smead on Monday at the home of his step-grandmother, where he lives.
