Man accused of threatening Obama pleads not guilty

A Colorado man accused of threatening to kill President Barack Obama and blow up a suburban Minneapolis mall has pleaded not guilty.

Twenty-year-old Timothy Gutierrez of Cortez appeared in federal court in Durango on Tuesday for arraignment and a detention hearing.

He was ordered detained without bond.

Gutierrez is charged with sending threatening e-mails to the FBI in Washington, D.C.

Prosecutors say the first e-mail threatened Obama, and the second said explosives would be used to damage or destroy property at the Mall of America.

Gutierrez has said the threats were a prank.

He turned himself in January 29th at the FBI's office in Durango.

Hey, Gutierrez let me clue you in on something ... if it was - as you say - a prank ... t'weren't funny, McGee
