Boulder man sentenced for threat against president

DENVER – A 29-year-old Boulder man has been sentenced to 16 months in federal prison for making threats against the president last year.

Nathan Daniel Larson was also sentenced Friday to three years of supervised release after he leaves prison.

The U.S. attorney’s office in Denver says Larson was indicted last December for threatening in an e-mail to the Secret Service to kill the U.S. president. He didn’t refer to the president by name.

Authorities say Larson stood by his threats during an interview with the Secret Service. They say he had not taken any steps to carry out the threat.

Larson pleaded guilty in May.
