A central Missouri man is facing a federal charge for allegedly threatening to shoot President Barack Obama.
Twenty-four-year-old Cameron Stout, of Stover, was charged Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Jefferson City with making threats against the president.
An affidavit from a Secret Service agent says Stout had several conversations during the past week with a confidential informant who is a former Aryan Nation member about plans to kill the president. Those plans included potential shooting sites in Washington and Kansas City, if the president were to visit there.
A public defender said he had just been assigned Stout's case and had no comment Tuesday.
The U.S. attorney's office says Stout remains in federal custody.
A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Thursday.
