A former Nevada man and two others will face only gun charges after federal officials were called to investigate remarks one of the men made about Democratic Presidential candidate Barack Obama.

Tharin Gartrell, 28, is from Lincoln County, and still has several P.O. boxes in the town of Pioche.  His father, Carl "Flash" Gartrell still lives in the area.

The younger Gartrell was arrested Sunday in Aurora, Colorado.  Police searched his car and removed two rifles, ammunition, a bulletproof vest, walkie-talkies, and methamphetamines.   He is being held at the Arapahoe County jail on $50,000 bail on drug and weapons charges.

Despite his Nevada roots, Gartrell currently has no known address.  At the time of his arrest, he had a suspended driver's license, but police did not say which state the license came from.

Shortly after Gartrell was caught, police arrested 32 year-old Nathan Johnson in Denver and 33 year-old Shawn Adolf at a hotel in the suburb of Glendale.  Adolf tried to escape by jumping out of a sixth-floor window, but he broke his ankle in the fall and was caught.  A woman was also arrested, her name hasn't been released.

After his arrest, Nathan Johnson told a Denver television station that one of the men involved in the case talked about killing Obama on Thursday, when he will accept the Democratic Party's nomination for president.  Johnson was asked about a plot to kill the Illinois senator, and said "I don't want to say yes, but I don't want to say no."

At a Tuesday afternoon news conference the U.S. District Attorney in Denver said the men were all "meth heads" and threats made towards Senator Obama were not viable.  He said one of the men made racist remarks and said they thought Obama was staying in his same hotel, however, they had no way of carrying out any threats. 

Under the law, the attorney explained, you can not prosecute a threat that has no way of being carried out.
