House Speaker John Boehner's office on Tuesday thanked police for their efforts after a report that a bartender who had served the Ohio congressman has been indicted after threatening to poison him.
Michael Robert Hoyt, a bartender at a country club frequented by the House Speaker, was indicted January 7 on charges of threatening to poison Boehner's drinks.
According to court documents obtained by NBC News, police made contact with Hoyt after an October 911 call. Hoyt, who had recently been fired from his job, told an officer that he was Jesus Christ and that he planned to kill Boehner, adding that he believed the Ohio congressman was responsible for the Ebola outbreak.
He was taken to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation. A .380 handgun was recovered from his residence.
You can thank Ronald Reagan for this.
