LAS VEGAS - A man has been charged with sending an e-mail threatening presidential candidate Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites).
Robert V. Ruppert, 53, of Las Vegas was scheduled to be arraigned May 3. He was arrested April 13 and ordered detained pending trial.
A federal indictment released Tuesday charges Ruppert with making a threat to the candidate and states he "did knowingly and willfully threaten to kill, kidnap and inflict bodily harm upon Senator John Kerry."
The e-mail was sent to CNN newsman Wolf Blitzer and the White House, according to court documents.

"Suffice it to say that the threat contained in the e-mail left no doubt in the agents' minds," said a spokesman, Paul Masto. "There was no ambiguity. It was a direct threat."
