Peoria Pundit

Via CBS4 in Denver:

Law enforcement authorities have arrested two men and several law enforcement sources say the investigation is looking into whether the men intended to harm presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama.

According to multiple sources, Aurora police made a routine traffic stop Sunday morning at 2:38 a.m. and arrested 28-year-old Tharin Gartrell. Sources say he was driving a rented pickup truck. The Secret Service says two rifles were found in his truck along with methamphetamine. Another law enforcement source says he was told at least one of the rifles was a “sniper rifle.”

A second source told CBS4 Investigator Brian Maass authorities told officers they are concerned they may have come upon a possible “assassination plot.”

I did a Google Search for “Tharin Gartrell” and “WCOTC,” “Matt Hale” and “Peoria.” There no results showing a link between this guy and now-jailed racist leader and his fake church. So, I’m thinking we probably don’t need to worry about Central Illinois being dragged through the mud again.
