A 26-year-old Hutchinson man indicted by a Federal Grand Jury in Wichita for threatening the President of the United States was in District Court Friday afternoon where he was sentenced to 43-months in state prison for violating his parole, but also removing a GPS device he was required to have attached to him as part of his parole.

Michael Scott Ramsey had served time in state prison for unlawful sexual relations with a minor for a case from 2004. He had been paroled in that case back in April in Harvey County, but absconded and a warrant was issued for his arrest on June 14. He was eventually found, but didn’t have the GPS tracking device on him.

In federal court, Ramsey is charged with two counts of threatening the president, with the alleged crimes occurring between July 1, 2009, and July 7, 2011.

He’s alleged to have made statements while in custody, but was considered no real threat the president. However, a threat of any kind is unlawful and is prosecuted by the feds.

If convicted, he faces a maximum penalty of five years in federal prison and a fine up to $250,000.
