Ontario man charged after death threats to U.S. president

A man from Kingston, Ont., has been charged for allegedly threatening to kill U.S. President George W. Bush.

In October 2005, White House staff reported receiving threats from a man through e-mails.

One of the e-mails mentioned using a bomb to kill the president.

Police in Kingston became involved when they were informed of more threatening e-mails to the White House in June and July of 2007.

Darren Lovelock, 29, was arrested Nov. 2 and charged Thursday with threats against an internationally-protected person.

Lovelock is being held for a psychological assessment.
