Man Arrested for Allegedly Threatening Rep. McDermott 
------------------------------------------------------



A California man has been arrested for threatening to kill Democratic
Rep. Jim Mc Dermott of Washington. The suspect, Charles Turner Habermann
of Palm Springs, is charged with threatening a federal official. Police
say Habermann made two expletive-laced phone calls to Mc Dermott's
office last month denouncing the lawmaker's opposition to tax cuts for
the rich and threatening to "blow his brains out."
