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

I wonder how many aren't talking.
It's OK to kill his wife, however...

Enough that Michael Schiavo better spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder.
He wasn't going to personally do the job...he was offering big bucks for someone to do it for him.
LMAO!!!
They're going to have to put these scumbags Michael Schiavo and Judge Greer in the witness protection program.

I would agree with that... :)
What goes around...comes around....
They would have to give them plastic surgery, since we know both of there faces....
My question is: After Terri has sadly passed away and after some of the dust settles, how long will it take for Michael to turn his abuse towards his mistress?
We don't know that he hasn't. She doesn't talk.

If you read this then it means I'm dead....Bang!
I have watched these people that need scapegoats (someone to blame, hate, punish) their whole lives to feel whole. They really do pick on someone else after the original scapegoat exits the scene. This will be wierd for this evil demon Michael because he will not longer have poor Terri to torture and blame. I am sure he will experience some kind of disorientation because of it. I honestly do believe God is better at settling the score than we are and I hope and pray we get to see the score settled in this lifetime for that animal. Here is a man who spent 15 years on his pre-meditated murder and is arrogant and vindictive up to the very end.
