Denver police are downplaying the severity of an alleged plot to assassinate Barack Obama. Four men were arrested on Sunday carrying weapons and camouflage. Denver detective Marcus Dudley described what was seized.

Marcus Dudley: “The sergeant discovered inside his truck a bulletproof vest, two rifles, ammunition, walkie-talkies and drugs. One scope was discovered with one of the rifles. The ammunition, the weapons, clearly that would give one great concern.”

Denver police say although the four suspects had discussed killing Obama, they had not planned to put it into action. Police say the accused were methamphetamine addicts who were impaired at the time they discussed Obama.
