Andrew O’Keefe, Drug-Addled Boston Leftist, Faces Federal Charges for Threatening President Obama

The dude's a long-haired drug-addled Boston hippie.

And his father said he was depressed and abusing drugs. Yeah, I'm sure the leftist MSM will be all over this.

At the North Attleborough Sun-Chronicle, "Mansfield man accused of threatening president had cache of weapons in his apartment, police say":
Police found last week a cache of swords and knives, a DVD on the use of cyanide and a testing kit from a local man who allegedly threatened to kill President Barack Obama, according to court records made public today.

The weapons were discovered in the West Village apartment of 26-year-old Andrew J. O’Keefe last Friday, after he allegedly sent a threatening message via the Internet to an FBI tip line, a police search warrant affidavit said.

“I’m planning to kill President Barack Obama and I’ve got a really good plan. Have the Secret Service give me a visit. I could use some company,” the message said, according to the affidavit filed by Mansfield Detective John Armstrong.

O’Keefe allegedly identified himself by his Social Security number in the spoken electronic message, Armstrong wrote.

Police and the Secret Service descended on O’Keefe’s third-story, two-bedroom loft at West Village, a large apartment complex off West Street, last Friday after receiving the threat.

They searched the apartment after a 1 1/2-hour standoff with O’Keefe before he surrendered without incident. About 10 residents in the apartment building at the time were evacuated.

Inside, police found O’Keefe’s apartment in disarray, with numerous knives and swords lying about and more of the same type of weapons in a duffle bag under a living room table.

Authorities say one of the weapons was a plastic buck knife that would go undetected through a metal detector.

In addition, police found a box of cigarette lighters, a cyanide testing kit with at least one test strip missing and a DVD on cyanide use, according to the affidavit.

Police seized a sword and dagger from his car, in addition to an air compressed electronic rifle and a GPS device.

Authorities also seized his computer, which is now in the custody of the Secret Service for examination.

A state police K-9 unit checked the apartment, but found no explosives.

A local fire department Hazmat team was called because of concerns about a “foggy” liquid in three large water bottles inside the apartment, but the team determined the unknown liquid was not hazardous, according to court records.

O’Keefe, who court records say has a bi-polar disorder, was arrested today on a warrant at Norwood Hospital, where he was due to be released after a psychological evaluation.

The warrant charges him with two counts of carrying a dangerous weapon.

He has not been charged yet with threatening the president, but remains under investigation by local police and the Secret Service.

His arraignment on the weapons charges in Attleboro District Court was postponed until Friday to allow a state psychologist to examine him.

His father Michael O’Keefe filed a petition asking the court for a substance abuse evaluation for his son and also told the court his son was depressed and abuses marijuana.

Andrew O’Keefe was supposed to be in court for a previous case in which he faces multiple counts of assault by means of a dangerous weapon stemming from an arrest in November on Lindsey Street in North Attleboro.

In that case, police allege O’Keefe swung a 4-foot medieval sword when they arrived for a well-being check. Police say they had to hit O’Keefe with a Taser and a bean bag gun, according to court records.

O’Keefe pleaded innocent to the charges.
Yeah, the dude hangs out in the basement smoking marijuana, swinging his medieval battle sword, and playing Dungeons & Dragons.

A typical leftist loser.
