A man arrested in Buncombe County Friday was charged with threatening the husband of Terri Schiavo, the brain-damaged Florida woman at the center of the right-to-die case gripping the country.
Richard Alan Meywes was arrested in Fairview by the FBI and the Buncombe County Sheriff's Office, the FBI said in a prepared statement.
Meywes is accused of sending an e-mail putting a $250,000 bounty "on the head of Michael Schiavo" and another $50,000 to eliminate a judge who denied a request to intervene in the Schiavo case, the FBI said. The FBI did not immediately identify the judge.
"The e-mail also made reference to the recent death of a judge in Atlanta and the death of (a) judge's family members in Illinois," the FBI said.
Meywes faces federal charges of murder for hire and transmission of interstate threatening communications.
An FBI spokesman in Charlotte did not immediately return calls Friday evening seeking details of Meywes' arrest. He was arrested without incident, the FBI statement said.
It is not clear whether Meywes lived in Fairview. He was not listed in several published and online telephone directories.
Meywes was being held in the Buncombe County Detention Center, where he was expected to stay until he appears before a federal magistrate, probably on Monday, said Cpl. Todd Ernst, a jail official

And the President quietly said, "I don't either."
What laws did President Bush break?
HE IS NOT ENFORCING THE IMMIGRATION LAWS.
One wonders of the quality of life Mr. Schiavo will lead when this is all over. I suspect that at a minimum he will be shunned and ostracized, and quite possibly his life will be in constant danger.

I do repent: but heaven hath pleased it so,
To punish me with this and this with me,
That I must be their scourge and minister.
I will bestow him, and will answer well
The death I gave him. So, again, good night.
I must be cruel, only to be kind:
Thus bad begins and worse remains behind.
Thank you very much for the ping!
I echo Tax Relief in welcoming you aboard.

My thoughts exactly. And I won't say any more.
Thank you! :)
My two cents on "Mr." Schiavo: He'll be pumped for the usual circuitry: books, talk shows, etc., and then his "puppet masters" will obliquely shove him to the rear and forget him. And why? Obviously, the puppet masters a) will have no further use of him, and b) his "violence" against Terri will bother the feminist base of supporters. If MacKinnon can rail "words equals rape"; then assuredly, "starvation" can also equal "rape". They'll have to duck and run away from this "person" quite quickly, claiming "intellectual argumentation" as their expedient means for "dropping" support of and association with "Mr." Schiavo.
