A 33-year-old Phoenix man is being held by sheriff’s deputies in Phoenix in connection with an Internet death threat against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio for his ongoing investigation into the legitimacy of President Obama’s birth certificate.
Adam Eugene Cox was taken into custody at his home Friday by Phoenix deputies, along with sheriff’s officers from Knoxville, Tenn., on an unrelated warrant for assault and is being held as the prime suspect in the Arpaio death threat investigation, said Maricopa County Sheriff’s spokesman Jeffrey Sprong.
Deputies served a search warrant and seized a computer and other evidence from Mr. Cox’ home. The alleged threat against Sheriff Arpaio came to light in October 2011 in which Mr. Cox reportedly said in an Internet posting that the sheriff and his family would be killed.
Maricopa County officials said the postings read, “I plan to kill Arpaio first. He will be filled with a thousand bullet holes before the year is out. I promise you this … He will be buried 10 feet under and his whole family will be murdered along with him.”
The officials said the postings also indicated that Mr. Cox is an avid supporter of Mr. Obama and that Sheriff Arpaio’s ongoing investigation into the legitimacy of Mr. Obama’s birth certificate may be behind the threat to kill the sheriff. They said Mr. Cox’ mother confirmed that her son is an Obama supporter and the Knox County Sheriff’s Office said he has a history of assault.

I wonder if the ABC-15 Arizona station will cover this story about the threat on Sherif Joe with the same energy and vigor, if at all?
Did they seize any firearms?
Located this statement:
“I will not be intimidated against pursuing this investigation into Obama’s eligibility to serve as the President of the United States,” said Arpaio.
Obama supporters and Mexican drug gangs working toward a common goal.
