Man Accused Of Plot To Kill Obama & Family In Federal Court
DENVER (KDVR) – A 20-year-old man accused of plotting to kill President Barack Obama during a visit to Colorado appeared in federal court Tuesday.
Mitchell Kusick is also accused of planning to shoot children in Westminster during a Halloween event at Standley Lake High School.
The federal criminal complaint against him alleges Kusick's plan was two-fold.
First, there are allegations Kusick planned to open fire at a trick or treat event at Standley Lake High School on Halloween.
A Secret Service agent wrote the complaint which says he stole a rifle out of his aunt and uncle's home in Westminster which he allegedly planned to use.
Federal investigators say he told them he had been homicidal for years, saying he was obsessed with the Columbine High School massacre and the recent kidnap and murder of 10-year-old Jessica Ridgeway in Westminster.
"Kusick stated he is very interested in snipers and has studied the James Holmes Aurora
shooting," the complaint says. "Kusick admitted to following the incident and stated his mother is in the mental health field and was a first responder to the scene."
To gain the infamy he allegedly wanted, he planned to carry out the mass shooting against children at the high school.
Authorities also say he told them he had detailed plans to kill the president. The criminal complaint says Kusick talked to investigators about the President's schedule and planned to carry out the assassination during Obama's campaign stop in Boulder Nov. 1.
The plans unraveled because Kusick allegedly revealed much of this to a therapist he was seeing. In the days after he took the rifle from his relatives, they made him return it.
The relatives were with him when he went to the therapist's office and allegedly made the disclosures.
The 20-year-old was put on a 72-hour mental health hold at a hospital. That's where he was when Obama made his campaign appearance at CU. Authorities have interviewed him a number of times.
The Secret Service took Kusick into custody Friday, Nov 9.
We've also learned Jefferson County Schools sought a restraining order against Kusick earlier this month.
The restraining order was filed on November 9, nine days after Kusick was charged with interference with a school for a "credible threat" against Standley Lake High School in Westminster.
Jefferson County Schools released a statement late Tuesday afternoon:
"Working with law enforcement, Jeffco Schools learned of a man who was allegedly threatening students at Standley Lake High School's Trick or Treat Street event. Police acted quickly to take the man into custody before the event. At no time were children attending the event in any danger from the suspect because he was already in police custody. We appreciate the swift response from law enforcement and Jeffco district security which helped keep our students safe."

Neighbors, Family Surprised
Less than two hours after news broke of 20-year-old Mitch Kusick's arrest, his family refused to answer reporters questions about the multiple federal charges he's expected to face.
"It's completely surprising, nothing I would have anticipated," said Tony Brooks of Westminster. On Tuesday, neighbors told FOX31 Denver that the incident came without warning and that even in the days prior to Kusick's arrest nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
"They're very well respected family, they wave to you…they're good neighbors," added Brooks.
Friends of the Kusick's family expressed concerns for the suspect's privacy and mental health after learning of the plot investigators announced involved high school students and President Obama.
"Just leave it alone, we don't need to go into their private life." said other neighbors when asked about the family's history.
FOX 31 Denver has learned Mitch also had a younger brother who neighbors also described as a typical suburban teenager.

Assisted Living Facility - Arden Courts Largo
Assisted Living Facility License #AL9403
When someone you love has Alzheimer's disease or related memory impairment, you learn a lot about care and support. You discover the importance of preserving a routine and the familiar surroundings of home. You can also see how much your loved one needs the closeness of family and friends. But, we understand that the demands on you and your family grow to a point where more help is required than you can manage. We also know that it's hard to give up the comforts of home. This is why HCR Manor Care created Arden Courts. It's a unique approach to caregiving - created to help people with Alzheimer's disease and related memory impairments enjoy residential living, while receiving the professional assistance they need 24-hours a day.
Everything at Arden Courts - from staffing to programs to environment - has been researched, developed and designed for very specific needs. Arden Courts is a welcome answer for both our residents and their families; a new caregiving alternative for the time when home care is no longer possible, but skilled nursing care is not necessary.
In designing Arden Courts, we conducted a great deal of research with experts and family caregivers alike - to make sure we offer the best lifestyle and care for our residents.
We understand the importance of helping our residents continue to lead productive, independent lives. So we provide whatever assistance is needed to make it possible. Whether it's helping with dressing, bathing, toileting or perhaps supervision at mealtimes, our residents receive just the right amount of care and encouragement - from people specially trained to care for those with Alzheimer's disease.
We also focus on maintaining the normal routines of home. Just like in homes everywhere, our residents and caregivers gather for family style meals. They spend time on personal care and light housekeeping. There's time to socialize with friends and time to be on their own.
At Arden Courts, our residents are encouraged to continue whatever activities they were used to doing at home; whether it's setting the table or preparing for dinner, doing laundry, gardening in the backyard or going our for social and community activities.
A lot of planning went into making Arden Courts feel as much like home as possible - warm, friendly, familiar and safe. Every aspect of daily life has been taken into consideration, based on our residents' needs. Right from the beginning, we consulted with architectural and design experts who specialize in Alzheimer's facilities - to make sure HCR Manor Care's Arden Courts offers the maximum amount of independence and safety.
The layout is residential by design - small in scale and organized into four self-contained "houses." Each house has its own living room, dining room, kitchen, full bath and laundry. There's also a secured backyard for gardening and enjoying the outdoors. Houses have both private and shared bedrooms, each with a half bath. And while bedrooms can be fully furnished, many of our residents like to bring some favorite furniture from home. The common rooms are cozy and inviting, and the furniture is comfortable. There are visual cures everywhere - symbols, photographs and colors - to help our residents stay oriented and as independent as possible.
A Typical Day At Arden Courts
A unique living arrangement like Arden Courts takes very special people to make it happen - people who are warm, friendly and who are also professionally trained to provide care for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and related memory impairment.
At Arden Courts, members of our staff are well educated in the disease process and its management - receiving extensive training and education, continual updates and refresher courses.
At the core of our team are the Resident Caregivers, who serve as "house parents" and assist with all daily activities. Resident Caregivers are assigned to a house, working with the residents on a daily basis and getting to know their individual needs.
Our other caregiving professionals include:
There are no "patients" living at Arden Courts - only residents and friends, each with his or her own routines and interests, capabilities and needs. And right from the start, we set out to accommodate and encourage that individuality. We begin with an extensive assessment of the resident's requirements and preferences. We also learn about his or her individual skills, history and home life. Then, we develop a customized "service plan" outlining those services and programs the resident needs or would like. And everyone - staff, resident and family - works together to implement the plan, making ongoing assessments and adjustments as necessary.
With our high staffing ratio at Arden Courts we can work closely with our residents; personalizing and adjusting their care and their programs, based on what each person requires - or simply enjoys.
Arden Courts was created
exclusively for individuals in the early - to - middle
stages of Alzheimer's disease, so we are able to
concentrate on the programs and life skills that best
meet our residents' special needs promoting their
independence and individuality, their health and
spiritual well-being.
Engagement Programming
Engagement programs reinforce functional skills, which are important in promoting a positive sense of self-esteem. General principles of this approach guide program development. These include:
The goal is to support the remaining, less impaired skills needed everyday.
Examples include:
These activities designed in the engagement program capitalize on "spared" or less impaired abilities allowing activities to be done at their own pace.
Nothing helps our residents' well being and peace of mind knowing their family and friends care for them and want to be a part of their lives. That's why we welcome family members at Arden Courts. We encourage you to participate in the caregiving as much as you like. We have special events for families - dinners, parties, activities - and we offer the help of family support groups. Some of our family members also like to participate with their loved ones laundry or taking them to doctor's appointments. We can accommodate whatever caregiving arrangements you want to make. The amount of participation is entirely up to you.
We are pleased to offer our
innovative Respite Care Program. Commonly asked
questions about Respite Care include...
What is Respite Care?
How Long Can We Use Respite Care?
How Much Does Respite Care Cost?
How Can I Arrange For A Respite Care Stay?
Arden Court was designed and developed by HCR Manor Care - a leading provider of skilled nursing, rehabilitation and Alzheimer's care.
In our nursing centers, we helped to pioneer care for people with Alzheimer's disease. But we also realized that some residents in the early - to - middle stages of the disease benefit from living in a more residential setting.
So we set out to create Arden Courts, bringing our own resources and experience to the job; and working with family caregivers like you to meet your needs.
Today, Arden Courts extends our continuum of care by providing personal attention in a small, residential environment. It offers dignity, comfort, a sense of belonging and the friendship and assistance of others in a safe environment that is as much as like home as it can be.
It is a home that caregivers like you have helped to build. We hope you'll come soon to see Arden Courts for yourself. We know you'll like what you see.

Ideas for Badly Needed Budget Basement Apartment Redo?
Q: Our basement apartment was never really all that appealing. It absolutely reeks of the seventies, and in such a way that we couldn't really update without doing some major teardown. Independence Day broke it for us, though. We had a major, major flood, and had to tear out all of the carpeting, which my husband maintains was the best thing that ever happened to this place.
I think we've decided what to do with the floor, but we're going to use it as the launching point for the rest of the (low budget) renovation that desperately needs to be done. We'll be painting the floor a dark, slate grey and stenciling a lace pattern in a light grey or white over top of it, instead of putting more carpet in and risking having to tear it out again.
But from there? I really am overwhelmed. The totally unusable fireplace absolutely dominates the room, and the heater (our only source of heat in the winter, ye gods) doesn't fit in the fireplace. Fixing the fireplace will cost approximately six thousand dollars, according to the estimate I got last fall. There is ONE OUTLET in the whole room, so the paneling will be coming down so some rewiring can be done. Thank Glob, the horrible seventies mountain print will be disappearing when we finally accomplish that, and yes, we covered it up with a horrible shower curtain, because it really is that bad. And yes, we have wall hangings on our walls that remind me of my teenage years… but it was so dark in here that it was really a relief, and we'd been told that painting the paneling would be a nonstarter, which it no longer is.
THERE IS A SKY with recessed? reflective? lighting. The lights aren't as overwhelming as they seem in this picture, but it's still blue.
Needless to say, I'm glad the floor will be taken care of. I'm not sure what we'll be doing with the wall. I guess the biggest thing I'm hoping for from this amazing community are some ideas to go along with this project over the next couple of months, suggestions of things that are fixable. I realized as I was writing this that I might be able to paint the ceiling a cream color instead of a horrible, faded, yellowed blue, and I would love some other color suggestions for the rest of the room. I'm not going to be able to get rid of all of the dark, dark brown wood paneling, no matter how much I want to, for instance, and the nonfunctional fireplace is going to continue to dominate our living room and remove the use of an entire wall. We were thinking about painting one or two of the walls a burgundy or a cranberry color, but I realized today that it might clash with our "sky." And I still have a teensy tinsy budget.
Help. Please. SOS.

Law enforcement officers with the U.S. Forest Service are looking for anyone with information about a string of vandalized rocks on a trail southeast of Bend.
One or more vandals sprayed fluorescent paint on rocks along the Arnold Ice Cave Trail, said Jean Nelson-Dean, spokeswoman for the Deschutes National Forest. Hundreds of rocks as well as a few branches on both sides of the dirt trail were found late last month marked with bright paint.
"It is a real mystery," she said.
Less snow hits the trail than forest trails west of Bend, making the Arnold Ice Cave Trail and other trails near Horse Butte popular in cold weather for horseback and mountain-bike riders.
"It would appear they are trying to mark the trail in some way," Nelson-Dean said, "but it would be vandalism."
The paint is orange and pink, and very noticeable along about two miles of the trail measured by GPS, said Joe Myers, 40, of Bend. Myers, who volunteers with the Central Oregon Trail Alliance, reported the paint to the Forest Service after coming across it a couple of days before Thanksgiving. He was out on a mountain-bike ride when he found the painted rocks.
It appears the "really strange" painting could have been done as some sort of safety measure to make the trail visible, but, like Nelson-Dean, Myers said it is vandalism.
"It just kind of changes the whole feeling of being out in nature when there are bunch of fluorescent orange and pink rocks everywhere," Myers said.
People in the horseback-riding community are equally baffled as to why someone would paint the rocks, said Kim McCarrel, co-chairwoman of the Central Oregon Chapter of Oregon Equestrian Trails. The statewide nonprofit advocates for horse trails.
"I can't fathom why someone would do that," she said.
McCarrel said the vandalism is aggravating.
Vandals hit Hidden Forest Cave, which is near the trail, in April 2011. The vandalism was different though, with words scrawled in spray paint on cliffs outside the cave. A tip in that case led to the arrest and conviction of five people — three adult men, a boy and a girl — for misdemeanor criminal mischief. A judge ordered them to pay more than $20,400 in restitution. The restitution paid for cleaning up the vandalism, which required an expert to lead the removal of the paint while preserving pictographs on the cliffs, in summer 2012.
Authorities don't have much to go on to figure out who painted the rocks on the Arnold Ice Cave Trail, so they are hoping for tips from the public, said Dan Smith, a patrol captain for the U.S. Forest Service in Bend.
"It's a lot of vandalism up there," Smith said.
Anyone with information about the painted rocks should call Smith at 541-383-5798.
