BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Authorities say a federal grand jury has indicted a Uzbekistan national accused of threatening to kill President Barack Obama and illegally possessing an M15 machine gun.
U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance in Alabama on Tuesday announced the indictment of 21-year-old Ulugbek Kodirov of Uzbekistan. He faces charges of threatening the president; being an illegal alien in possession of a firearm; and unlawfully possessing a fully automatic weapon. He's also charged with receiving and possessing an unregistered grenade.
Vance said in a statement that he repeatedly threatened to kill the president.
Court records say he was arrested July 13 at a motel near Birmingham after prosecutors say he obtained the machine gun from an undercover agent.
It wasn't known Tuesday whether he has an attorney representing him.
