New York man arrested after threatening to kill former president George W. Bush

Former president George W. Bush ruffled quite a few feathers during his time in office and he's still feeling the after effects.

According to CNN, a New York man was arrested Friday for allegedly threatening to kill Bush. A federal court complaint says the man was armed with a rifle, boxes of ammunition and a machete.

More specifically, the complaint says Benjamin Smith threatened to "kill, kidnap and inflict bodily harm" on Bush. Smith also professed a love interest in Barbara, one of the former president's twin daughters.

While being arrested, Smith allegedly yelled out "Bush will get his."

Luckily, the U.S. Secret Service was able to intercept the threat. They were alerted to the threat after Smith's mother found a note he allegedly wrote saying that he's "going to work for George W. Bush and the Pentagon."

In the note, Smith also wrote: "I have to slay a dragon and then Barbara Bush is mine... America is finished. Obama, Etc."

The Secret Service located Smith sitting in his car in Manhattan after using cell phone tracking. Smith was found with a loaded .38-caliber rifle, two boxes of ammunition, a container of gasoline and a machete.

Once he was in custody, Smith told Secret Service agents, "I'm divorced and not currently seeing anyone, but I am working on a relationship with Barbara Bush."

Threats against presidents of the United States are a federal crime. Attempts to get a comment from Smith's defense lawyer, Peggy Cross-Goldenberg, were unsuccessful.
