Man charged with threatening Cheney makes initial court appearance

ASSOCIATED PRESS

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Oct. 31 - A man charged with threatening the life of
Vice President Dick Cheney during a campaign visit appeared Sunday in federal
court, where a judge ordered him jailed until a bond hearing later in the
week.



Homer O. Shoup Jr., 51, was expected to be appointed a lawyer in time
for the bond hearing, said Faron Paramore, resident agent in charge of the
U.S. Secret Service in <>Grand Rapids. Shoup is being held in Kent County
Correctional Facility.


Shoup is accused of calling 911 Friday morning and telling dispatchers
he had turned his van into a bomb and planned to try and kill Cheney by
crashing the vehicle into the Lansing venue where the vice president was to
speak.


He was arrested less than two hours after the call about an hour's
drive away.
