Neb. man sentenced in Iowa for threatening Obama

DAVENPORT - A Nebraska man who wrote a letter while he was in prison in Iowa that threatened President Barack Obama and federal buildings has been sentenced to 8 years in federal prison.

The U.S. attorney's office in Davenport says Tuesday that Terrence Dunn, formerly of Lincoln, Neb., was sentenced to 60 months on one count of threats against the president and 96 months for one count of making a threat to blow up two buildings. The sentences will run concurrently.

Officials say the Secret Service received Dunn's letter from the FBI in February 2010. The letter was addressed to the FBI in Washington, D.C., and included Dunn's return address - the Iowa Medical and Classification Center in Coralville, where Dunn was an inmate. The letter was postmarked Nov. 3, 2009.
