MIAMI - A Florida trainee police officer was arrested on Friday for making a threat to kill US President George W Bush before a visit by Bush to Tampa last month, prosecutors said.

Joseph Chiejina Mazagwu, a 35-year-old Tampa resident, was indicted on Thursday on charges of making a threat against the president and making a false statement to a federal agent, the US Attorney's Office in Tampa said.

According to the indictment, Mazagwu made a threat to harm and kill the president on July 15. Bush visited the city the following day.

Mazagwu made remarks to a clerk at a Tampa business and the clerk reported the comments to another police officer the next day, said Laura McElroy, a spokeswoman for the Tampa police department. Police and the Secret Service began investigating.

Mazagwu had completed police academy and had a badge and a gun but was doing field training with a supervising officer. Whether he had made the remarks or not, as a rookie he would not have been involved in presidential security when Bush visited, McElroy said.

Mazagwu was suspended after the incident and is in the process of being fired, she said. He is also charged with making a false statement to a Secret Service agent on July 19. If convicted, he faces five years in prison and a fine of US$250,000 ($388,621) on each count.

some people just don't know when to keep their mouth shut.



















shame on that other officer ratting on Mazagwu!

I don't think that "threat" was any real but say something against the US president and you're fucked for sure if some sucker reports you.

I bet it was some convo like:

"How do you think our president will be doing there sir?"
"I'm gonna kill that guy for fucking up our country when I'm down there *laugher*"

False statement?Who wouldn't say I didn't say shit, maybe he even didn't.

Hail to the US dictatorship! :ak47:

Now he will REALLY want to kill him ...

Fuck bush ... and his fucking mama

It was probably some off hand remark and now his life is ruined.

Clinton came to my home town in the 90s and visited on the street. I closed up my store to go up and watch.
A well known business man jokingly said "I wish I had a gun" and laughed.

He was immediately hauled away and questioned.

No jail time though.

State security. Do you blame them? Hell no he's the president.

OMG! harm AND kill?????


i could see killing but harming too...he is crazy!!!ONE111ONE!!111

Ahahah crazy! You laughed too right?

LOL..what an idiot

This country is in deep shit

just like in 1984, it will always be those you meet turning you in.

"Mazagwu made remarks to a clerk at a Tampa business and the clerk reported the comments to another police officer the next day,"

I wish I could kill George Bush. There, come arrest me.

*sigh* This country is going to shit.

I went and heard GW's daddy give a speech in Springfield, MO during the 88 race. Got searched big time going in the door. Guess I looked lkie a threat By the way Arnie was with Bush on that speech tour. Bush had a better limo lol Arnie had a nice stretch white caddy. Bush had a tank like monstrosity.

its realy hard for someone to keep them emotions to themselves. damn, i wish i was that brave enough. lol

I can't say what I want to,
even if I'm not serious.
Things like....
"Fuck yourself,
kill yourself,
you piece of shit."

People tell me what to say,
what to think ,
and what to play.

I say...
"Go fuck yourself,
you piece of shit.
Why don't you go kill yourself?"

Just kidding.
