A 22-year old man was sentenced to six months in prison today after he was arrested in September for making Tweeted death threats against President Barack Obama.
According to The Charlotte Observer, Donte Jamar Sims will also be forced to live under supervised release for a year after his jail term is up.
The North Carolina native used the handle @DestroyLeague_D to issue his threats, many of which are still online and include:
