Woman allegedly menaced first lady


Don't like that she had info that should have been better hid, but she doesn't sound like she would be that stable of a threat. Glad they got her before the Obamas got there for vacation though.

Secret Service agents over the weekend arrested a woman at a Kane'ohe address for allegedly threatening to kill first lady Michelle Obama.

The woman, Kristy Lee Roshia, has a long history of making threatening and rambling telephone calls to the Secret Service office in Boston, according to an affidavit filed today in federal court here.

On Nov. 9, the Boston Secret Service office received a letter from Roshia, mailed from Hawai'i and carrying a return address on Hamakua Drive in Kailua, that contained numerous photographs of Roshia along with poems and "rambling love letters" to a nonexistent Secret Service agent, the sworn affidavit said.

The following day, Roshia called the Boston office and told a receptionist "I will kill Michelle Obama" and "I will kill Marines," according to the affidavit, signed by Secret Service Special Agent John Woodruff.

On Dec. 19, Woodruff and two other agents interviewed Roshia at a Kane'ohe Bay Drive residential address. She said she had traveled to Hawai'i in September "to protect Obama" and since then has been "working the golf course at the Marine Base," according to the affidavit.

She told the agents that she knew "the exact location" where President Obama and his family will stay during their Christmas vacation here, according to the affidavit.

That information was "consistent" with the itinerary of the Obama family at the Secret Service office here, Woodruff wrote.
