Scott Stapp Assassination Threat

Scott Stapp, former Creed frontman, is in the news again, this time for threatening to assassinate President Obama, TMZ reports. Stapp had escaped from a mental facility last month, and his sister-in-law called 911 after she saw him cruising around his neighborhood, shirtless, on a bicycle. The sister-in-law told the 911 dispatcher that Stapp was claiming that he was a CIA agent, and that he had been given a mission to kill Obama. Stapp's wife told the 911 dispatcher that Stapp had supposedly found CIA documents online, printed out 400-600 pages, stuffed them in a book bag, and rode off on his bicycle. When the police caught up to Stapp, he told them that his wife had stolen $6 million from him and had stolen his truck, which was why he was riding around on his bicycle. Police did not think that Stapp showed enough signs of mental instability to warrant a psych hold, so for now he is free to roam the neighborhood on his bicycle.
