Michigan Capitol bomb threat suspect got Secret Service visit over 2014 Obama threat
Newly released documents from the Michigan State Police show Michael Varrone, who was accused of making a bomb threat on Jan. 7 to the Michigan Capitol, has a lengthy history of contact with law enforcement — including a 2014 visit from the Secret Service for threatening then-President Barack Obama by email.
The heavily redacted police reports were released under Michigan’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and reveal a history of threatening behavior and violence.
That includes an alleged attempt to ram his van into a store owned by former state Rep. Dianne Byrum in Charlotte on the same day he allegedly called a bomb threat into the Capitol building. Varrone, 48, allegedly called a control operator at the Capitol building at 6:40 a.m. and urged evacuation because it was going to explode. The employee immediately reported the bomb threat to MSP. The building was ordered closed and it reopened later that morning.
At 11:08 a.m. on Jan. 7, Varrone was allegedly in Byrum ACE Hardware without a mask, and was confronted by two different women. A female employee escorted him from the business for refusing to wear a mask. The police report alleges he then got in his car and put it in drive, jumping a curb in front of the store and knocking into a snowblower, which then hit the front of the building.

He will only get worse.
And when something does happen with this walking, ticking time bomb we will hear the usual "oh dear, thoughts and prayers" bs.
