A Del Norte County man accused of threatening the life of President Barack Obama and his family pleaded not guilty to three charges in U.S. District Court in Eureka Monday.
Appearing in an orange jumpsuit and shackles, John Howard Gimbel, 59, of Crescent City, was asked by U.S. Magistrate Judge Nandor Vadas if he understood the charges against him.
”Yes, I understand,” Gimbel said. “Not guilty to all of them.”
Gimbel was arrested at his home on Oct. 6 for allegedly writing threatening and profanity-laden e-mails to Obama and his family. He was indicted by a grand jury in U.S. District Court last week on three charges: Threatening the president of the United States; threatening the president's immediate family; and making threats transmitted through interstate communication.
The three charges each carry maximum penalties of five years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release.
He is being held without bail in the Humboldt County jail pending transfer to San Francisco.

I see that he made numerous threats to President Bush through the years. Seems he wasn’t arrested until he threatened the great B.O. though. Imagine that.........
He is a nutcase. Been arrested before
