A Kansas man is criticizing state Attorney General Derek Schmidt for telling the Secret Service of his plan to arrest President Barack Obama as a British citizen holding office illegally.

Sixty-five-year-old Neil Jednoralski, of Salina, says he received a visit from a Secret Service agent and law enforcement officials at his home Monday evening. He was warned to stay away from Obama’s Tuesday speech in Osawatomie, about 150 miles away.

The Salina Journal reports the officials took a pair of handcuffs Jednoralski says he bought specifically to arrest Obama, along with four guns. Jednoralski remained in Salina and retrieved the items from the sheriff’s office Tuesday afternoon.

Jednoralski had announced his plan to the Kansas Highway Patrol and to Schmidt, who he hoped would prosecute president. Schmidt’s office confirms it informed the Secret Service.
