From the Denver Post
Three men were arrested on drug charges in Aurora, Denver and Glendale - one of them carrying weapons that authorities said may have been intended for use in "credible threat" against
Barack Obama.
Authorities refused to detail the reasons they were investigating a possible plot, though law enforcement sources said the men may be part of an Aryan Nation group.
U.S. Attorney Troy Eid, who said he may have more to say Tuesday afternoon, insisted that
Obama, and visitors for the Democratic National Convention were never in danger.
"We can say this: We're absolutely confident there is no credible threat to the candidate, the Democratic National Convention, or the people of Colorado," Eid said.
It began early Sunday, when a rented Dodge pickup being driven by Tharin Gartrell, 28, was pulled over in Aurora for suspicion of drunk driving. Authorities then saw two rifles in the truck, with a high-power scope, a bullet proof vest, a walkie talkie and several boxes of ammunition and some methamphetamine.
When police accompanied Gartrell to his room in Glendale at the Cherry Creek Hotel, 600 South Colorado Blvd., a second man jumped from a sixth-floor window, landed on an awning four floors down and then hit the ground, breaking his ankle, Glendale Police Chief Victor Ross said.
That man, later identified as Shawn Robert Adolf, 33, was arrested on outstanding warrants and was being held on $1 million bond. Police also arrested a third man, Nathan Johnson, at a hotel at I-25 and Belleview, he also is being held on outstanding drug warrants.
"This whole thing started with a traffic stop in Aurora," Ross said. "Weapons and meth were recovered."
Ross said local authorities turned the information over to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Fireams and Explosives and the U.S. Secret Service.
He said that during interviews the Secret Service determined there was "credible threat" from the individuals directed toward Obama.
Ross declined to specify what exactly authorities had found in the hotel rooms other than to say an unspecified amount of methamphetamines had been confiscated.
"There were a lot of things that indicated they were here for reasons we would not want them to be here," Ross said. "There were other items that caused officers concern. There was other material that caused officers concern."
At an evening press briefing, Aurora Police spokesman Marcus Dudley said police were concerned about the weapons and the unexplained connections between the men.
"Behavior like this can be characterized as highly suspicious, the ammo, the weapons, clearly would give us great concern," Dudley said.
Another law enforcement source said authorities were investigating whether the men were connected to a motorcycle club, Sons of Silence.
The FBI and ATF are investigating, Ross said, but federal authorities were refusing to release details.
"The matter continues to be under investigation. We'll provide more information as it becomes available," Eid said.
A myspace.com page under the name Tharin Roberts shows numerous photographs of Gartrell.
The web page says that Tharin Roberts is a professional disc jockey for nightclubs who lives in Denver. The page also says his favorite movies include Lord of the Rings and Assassins.
Colorado Bureau of Investigation records show Gartrell has a criminal record dating back to 2005 with arrests for aggravated vehicle theft, drug possession and distributing drugs.
Wow, Is it really that bad that Barack is half black? These people need to grow up
