An inmate in ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s federal prison was given a 4-year prison sentence Wednesday for sending threats to former President Barack Obama and others, officials say.
Roger Dale Godwin, 40, pleaded guilty to making and mailing the threats, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's Office.
In 2016, while an inmate at ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥'s federal prison, Godwin sent out several letters addressed to Obama and former Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
The letters contained threats to injure or kill Obama, Lynch, and a Bureau of Prisons employee, the release says.Â
Godwin will serve the 4-year sentence consecutive to a separate 2014 sentence that he received for mailing threats to judges and law enforcement while he was an inmate at a Wisconsin prison.Â
