LINCOLN (AP) — A Nebraska inmate has pleaded guilty to threatening President Barack Obama.
Loren Hamlin of McCook was indicted in November with making threats against the president. Federal prosecutors said he sent a letter from prison saying he would "track down" and kill the president.
Hamlin pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court in Lincoln last Friday. He faces up to 5 years in prison when he's sentenced in April.
Hamlin is currently serving 3 to 5 years in prison for burglary in McCook in 2010.
