Police arrested a prominent North Sacramento resident Monday night after he allegedly threatened to burn down the home of former Sacramento City Manager Bob Thomas, according to authorities.

Bob Slobe, whose family once owned much of what has become North Sacramento, was taken into custody about 7 p.m. during a community forum about the proposed relocation of a card room to a local hotel, said police spokeswoman Officer Michele Gigante.

And here's the punchline:

Slobe has been a long-time activist in his community, most recently entering the controversy over Sacramento's homeless population. He is married to U.S. District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller.

Are there any guesses about which current president put Mueller on the bench?
