Fraud suspect spins tale of Obama overthrow plot
KSL-TV / The Associated Press ^ | January 8, 2009 | Holbrook Mohr

JACKSON, Miss. -- If Ronnie Lee Owen is telling the truth, he can save President Barack Obama from a racist plot and stop an armed revolution by Mormon extremists, if police would just let him out of jail.

Authorities haven't let him out of jail. Instead, he goes on trial next week in Gulfport, Miss., on federal fraud charges for having three fake driver's licenses and issuing phony checks.

Owen, a 41-year-old fugitive wanted in eight states, is accused of writing fake checks across the country for thousands of dollars in goods, according to court records.

When he was arrested during a traffic stop in March 2009 in Biloxi, Miss., he and his fiancee had fantastical tales for police and the U.S. Secret Service, according to 101 pages of documents sealed Wednesday by a federal judge in Gulfport. The Associated Press obtained the documents before they were sealed.

According to transcripts of Owen's conversations with authorities, he tried to strike a deal to get out of jail by offering to help stop what he said was a white supremacist plot against Obama. Details were unclear, but Owen said he was contacted by someone he called Billy Ray who wanted information on hacking government computers in connection with the alleged plot, according to court papers.

Owen also said he knows an extremist Mormon leader and could help authorities infiltrate the group to stop an uprising.

Did authorities take him seriously?

"The investigation we have open on Mr. Owen is a fraud case," said Allen Bryant, resident agent in charge of the Secret Service in Mississippi. "That's about the limit of what I can say since it's about to go to trial next week."

Generally, the Secret Service checks out every possible threat, Bryant said. He did not specifically discuss Owen's case.(continued)

It sounds like something from Law and Order, complete with liberal spin

It's the Amish and Mennonite extremists you really have to watch out for...

Careful. There are a handful of posters on FR who hold similar opinions to the man in the article.

The dellusional Romney thinks Americans will vote for someone that put Government run HC in Mass.

This is the indication of total disconnect from the American people.

He obviously is NOT paying attention to current events.
Therefore he is unqualified. PERIOD

O REALLY!

They always yell, “BRIGHAM YOUNG IS GREAT!” before they blow themselves up.

And Salt Lake City is as violent as Gaza on Friday night.

Them Mormon terrorists are everywhere, I tell you.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

He must mean Mormons are law abiding in the extreme. When the oligarchy comes to exterminate them they will willing fill the cattle cars because the law says so.

Alonzo was released without charges. Apparently she believed Owen began working with the NSA after he hacked into a federal computer system as a teenager. She also claimed the government has perfected a cloaking device he invented.

Per Johnny Cash:
Yeah, Momma, don’t you worry about it none though
Everything’s gonna be all right, Momma
They’re teaching us a lot of new things in here Momma
Things like

There ain’t no good in an evil-hearted woman
And I ain’t cut out to be no Jesse James
And you don’t go writing hot cheques down in Mississippi
And there ain’t no good chain gang

ROTFLMAO

Last time militant mormons tried anything they got killed in job lots and run out of the country...

I suspect that ‘lesson’ was learned.

I wonder what nuthouse this fellow escaped from?
