ROANOKE - The United States Secret Service (USSS) is investigating a man that investigators say made threats in Roanoke to kill President Barack Obama, and blow up a federal building.
The case began back on June 23rd. In a federal complaint, Special Agent Patrick Pavich with the USSS writes that Timothy Dement was arrested by Roanoke City Police officers on June 23rd for being drunk in public.
While Dement was being booked, investigators write that Dement threatened to kill the President, a Deputy U.S. Marshal, and two Roanoke City Sheriff’s Office deputies.
Dement got out of jail on June 28th.
Then on June 29th, Special Agent Pavich writes that a concerned citizen overheard Dement ask an employee of a fireworks stand near Valley View Mall if they, “sold explosives, or if they knew where he could get some.“ Pavich writes that concerned citizen asked Dement if he was serious, and Dement replies, “he was and that he intended on blowing up a Federal building.“
Roanoke City Police then arrested Dement on a charge of threat to bomb a building.
After the second arrest booking, Pavich writes that Dement told the arresting officer when he got out, he was “going to kill someone, and there was nothing he (police officer) could do about it.“ Pavich adds that Dement also stated the he (Dement) was going straight to Washington, D.C. and someone was going to pay when he got out. Pavich also writes that Dement then spoke some racial obscenities about the President.
