Man Arrested After Threatening President in 911 Call

Johns Island man jailed for improper use of 911.

A Johns Island man faces felony charges after he called Charleston County 911 threatening to shoot President Barack Obama.

Kevin Daryl Salvo faces a single count of improper use of 911 for calling authorities twice early Wednesday morning with threats against the President and disparaging remarks against Democrats, according to a sheriff's incident report.

Salvo, 51, is not charged for the threats, according to Maj. Jim Brady, the sheriff's spokesman.

"Charleston County Sheriff's Office arrested Salvo on a charge of improper (or) illegal use of 911 as noted in the report," Brady said in a statement to local media. "He was not arrested for threatening to shoot the President."

In the calls, which came in sometime before 1:30 a.m. Wednesday, Savlo is alleged to have disparaged all Democrats and then made the threats. President Obama gave his victory speech at 1:00 a.m. Wednesday.

"**** all Democrats... The South will rise again," he reportedly told a 911 operator. "I will shoot the President."

Deputies responded to Salvo's Anglers Pond Road and placed him under arrest. He'll appear before a judge in December on the charge. The report also indicates he had been drinking at the time of the arrest.

You're awful at trolling because you're awful at reading. Come back when you can grasp something other than your prepubescent dong.

I am a strong Obama supporter!!! Romney fell short- i felt his arrogance and elitist attitude hurt his campaign. What's done is done- Obama won fair and square. There will never be an outcome that pleases everyone. Violent, Vicious and threatening antics from deeply disturbed people who don't get "their way" or don't agree with someone (when it comes to the government and/or politics) should not be taken lightly. Lunitics like that crazy old man jeopardize the safety and security of all of us.

@Tom Utley
re: eliminate all government programs surely you jest...or you just destroyed any creditibility you may have had for common sense solutions to america's problems... but perhaps you can restore some with an example of one gov program you would eliminate and what you would replace it with...FEMA maybe...social security, medicare...

You are correct and if you have listened to fat man rush and his huge mouth, he already is inciting people like this nutcase. The south will never come back, get used to it. You cant win an election by winning 8 or nine poor southern states. When are the republicans going to get this in their little brains.
Frank Zoccola November 9, 2012 at 12:14 am
He used have a visit by the FBI. Of course the sheriff wont arrest him. He more than likely will receive an award because of free speech by a redneck
Greymom November 9, 2012 at 04:46 am
I'm sure you would feel differently about this if Romney won, OR if it was Bush...

@Greymom
weel, i wouldn't have...but may have enjoyed a beer w/W...NOT MITT...he was/is clueless as to how many of the 47% live from paychk to paychk...and the lives of benign neglect those w/ disabilities live...

One correction needs to be made. The faux prez is not the president of the U.S. A real prez would have a U.S. birth certificate, and he would tell the truth at least once every blue moon.

have you been drinking?
JoSCh November 9, 2012 at 03:03 pm
What are you doing out of your burrow? I thought all the Trump disciples went into hiding.
You lucked out Kermit, somebody more stupid than you showed up.
JoSCh November 9, 2012 at 03:05 pm
I'm curious Greymom, what about Leigh's reasonable response do you think she'd change had Mitt Romney won? Do you feel like here advocating against violence is wrong? If so, are you advocating violence?
Leigh Collins November 9, 2012 at 04:03 pm
I would be disappointed if Romney won, but throwing an anti government HISSY FIT wouldn't do anything to change the outcome. Life would go on and you have to adjust accordingly. In the larger scheme of things- a presidential term is really not all that long. Holding on to all that bitterness and resentment will only make a person miserable. You win some and you lose some- mature and decent people gracefully adapt to the outcomes and move forward.

I find it interesting that people still say 'the South will rise again' after all these years. I mean, Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas, Houston, and others cities have risen right nicely over the years.
Granted, they did it by shedding all those racist notions that are holding back the rest of the South. Good example: Birmingham was the south's industrial hub before Civil Rights. Then George Wallace turned on his water hoses, and every major business moved to Atlanta. And then there's Mississippi... The more racist and backward the state, the less likely it is to see economic and social prosperity. Thankfully folks such as this guy are getting pushed to the fringe of society.

Bravo Fisher.

@Leigh Collins
win some,lose some, some rained out, as they say in the old country...but; i would have had a HISSY if MITTens had won...BO is a good, maybe great, president. history will rank BO in the top ten...nobel prize! 1st Black pres (two terms)! major healthcare reform! 2008 recession recovery!... oh/BTW: the country (ALL the people) does (do) better under DEM than GOP economic policies...and progressive DEM programs for students, po, old, and disabled folks (ie, all except rich white folks, the 1%ers) are better than failed, status quo, GOP programs. that said; very few presidents have much effect on most individual lives...unless they do something really dumb...like lying us into an iraq war...ie, friends and i would/will probably do just boot as well under either BO, W, or MITTens 11:03 am on Friday, November 9, 2012 I would be disappointed if Romney won, but throwing an anti government HISSY FIT wouldn't do anything to change the outcome. Life would go on and you have to adjust accordingly. In the larger scheme of things- a presidential term is really not all that long. Holding on to all that bitterness and resentment will only make a person miserable. You win some and you lose some- mature and decent people gracefully adapt to the outcomes and move forward.
Frank Zoccola November 10, 2012 at 12:21 am
what have you been smoking. Everyone knows that is a citizen except for the poor losers and gop. By the way, I wonder Mitt never released his full tax records? might be that he was hiding something. Well the election is over and the best man one.

Bonneauboy November 10, 2012 at 04:11 pm
Folks...you would have to have lived in South Carolina to understand this dude. BY FAR I am not advocating his sayings or even the reason why he was arrested. The hatred and ignorance RUN DEEP in South Carolina!!! Let me explain:
SOUTH CAROLINA 1) First shots of the Civil War 2) Had the oldest senator...Strom Thurmond 3) The LAST state to remove the rebel flag from the State House....in 2002 4) The only state to publicly yell, "You lie", when the president addressed Congress
James Hamilton November 12, 2012 at 03:07 pm
Common guys we're all American here. Romney lost if he'd won I'd support him, but he lost. I voted for Bam, he won I'll support him. I didn't like George but he was my president, I supported him. This race thing is sad, it bleeds through the commentary. Let's try something new. Let's respect eachother and just hope Prsident Obama does a good for the next four years. I certainly believe Mitt would've tried he didn't seem like a bad guy just saying what it took to win. They couldn't stand the guy because of his religion but that was the republicans only hope in this election, because his game was better. I respect him but I thought Bam deserved another years, we gave George his and again I respected it.

FYI bits fr links
i don’t tweet and don’t fully understand derivation of the LQ number [racist tweets quotient]...but assume it factors in population and/or total tweets. LQ does provide a state comparison. if interested in specifics pls goto josch’s links. Tweets range from n-word to calling for BO’s assassination...to wouldn’t care if he was...etc. [CLIPS] ‘Mississippi and Alabama have the highest LQ measures with scores of 7.4 and 8.1, respectively. ‘The prevalence of post-election racist tweets is not strictly a southern phenomenon as North Dakota (3.5), Utah (3.5) and Missouri (3) have very high LQs. ‘SC 1.4; CA 0.5
