Video: Police Uncover Possible Barack Obama Assassination Plot By “Sons Of Silence” Member Tharin Gartrell

Local police in Denver have stumbled upon an alleged plot to assassinate presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama with a high-powered rifle on national television at his outdoor acceptance speech in Denver Thursday night. On a routine drunk driving stop last night in Denver suburb Aurora, Colorado, police found the following evidence in the rented truck of Tharin Gartrell , a 28-year-old convicted felon and member of biker group Sons of Silence (pictured): two high-powered scoped rifles, ammunition, sighting scopes, radios, a cellphone, a bulletproof vest, wigs, methamphetamine and fake IDs. One of the rifles was listed as stolen by the FBI.

When Gartrell told the police the weapons belonged to his friend Nathan Johnson, 32, police went to Johnson’s hotel and arrested him and his girlfriend, Natasha Gromack, on drug charges. At the same time, they went to the hotel of his associate Shawn Robert Adolph, 33, to question him. When the police arrived, Adolph attempted to escape through a six-story window and broke his ankle. When he was apprehended, he held a handcuff key in one hand and wore a swastika ring on the other. When Johnson was questioned by police, he told them that Gartrell and Adolph planned to kill Obama on Thursday during his acceptance speech at Invesco Field. The U.S. Attorney’s office has scheduled a press conference for 4:30 Central Time today to address developments. Below is a news report on the arrests from Denver CBS affiliate KCNC.
