Ohio Man Accused of Threatening Boehner Ruled Insane
CINCINNATI Jul 13, 2015, 3:45 PM ET
By LISA CORNWELL Associated Press
A former Cincinnati-area bartender who said he believed House Speaker John Boehner was the devil was found not guilty by reason of insanity Monday of threatening to kill the Republican lawmaker.
Federal Judge Timothy Black found Michael Hoyt not guilty of a charge of threatening to kill a U.S. official.
Authorities had accused Hoyt of threatening to kill Boehner, either with a gun or by poisoning his drink.
The judge found that Hoyt was insane at the time of the offense and has ordered him back to a federal medical facility for evaluation.
