HAGERSTOWN, MD - A man holding a sign that read, "Death to Obama" at yesterday's meeting with Senator Benjamin Cardin was detained by the Secret Service, according to Washington County Sheriff Doug Mullendore.

The cardboard sign read, "Death to Obama, Death to Obama, Michelle, and 2 stupid kids."

This photo was sent to NBC25 by an anonymous source, who was in line for Cardin's meeting on health care reform, but he never made it in to Kepler Theater.  He tells NBC25 the man was standing along Robinwood Drive, holding the sign as cars drove by.

Mullendore says the man was brought to the Sheriff's Department by deputies, but he was never handcuffed at any point to his knowledge.

Darrin Blackford, a special agent with the Secret Service in Washington, D.C., says his office is aware of the incident and they are doing appropriate follow-up.  He adds that the office takes seriously every threat that endangers the life of any of their protectees.

According to Blackford, the man was not arrested.  He was interviewed at the sheriff's office and was allowed to leave after being questioned.
