Speaker of the House John Boehner likes to golf, and he likes to unwind with a drink after playing a round. For the last five years Michael Robert Hoyt, 44, served the speaker his drinks at Wetherington Country Club. On Jan. 7, Hoyt was arrested and charged with threatening to murder the speaker by poisoning his drink.

Hoyt was fired by the country club back in October. A week later, on Oct. 29, Hoyt allegedly called police and blamed Boehner for losing his job. When police visited him at home, things got weirder. WCPO in Cincinnati reports:

“Hoyt told the officer he was Jesus Christ and he was going to kill Boehner because Boehner was mean to him at the country club and because Boehner is responsible for Ebola,” United States Capitol Police (USCP) Special Agent Christopher M. Desrosiers said. “Hoyt advised he had a loaded Beretta .380 automatic and he was going to shoot Boehner and take off.”

Police report the day before he called them about his intentions he emailed Speaker Boehner’s wife Debbie. The exchange, according to police, went as follows:

Hoyt: “Mr. Boehner, I sincerely do not want to embarrass anyone. I am willing to drop all of this if you and Dr. Bob Buring deliver my termination report to me personally, or transport me to a secure location where the three of us can have an honest conversation. If I had any intention of hurting Mr. Boehner, I could have poisoned his wine at Wetherington many, many times. I do not believe I have lied about anything nor exaggerated. This is extremely urgent. Tuesday. Earlier the better. Talk to Dr. Bob Buring. PLEASE!!! We can work together and succeed or …..fail miserably. My phone died. I am at home. I have a dog and cat so please do not bust in. I will leave my lights on inside and out all night. You probably already know where I live. REDACTED Matson Ave. Deer Park, Ohio.” Debbie Boehner: “What is this about??” Hoyt: “Mrs. Boehner, I was fired. I could not email Mr. Boehner directly because of the zip code block on his email. It doesn’t matter anyway. If he took a real interest in anything he would insure his Club was better than the Country, but they are exactly the same and life goes on SSDD. Sincerely, Mike. Mike, your former bartender.”

After Hoyt was fired, according to police, he started hearing “the devil’s voice from the speakers in his car and his radio at home” and they “were telling him that Boehner was evil.”

Hoyt told police he could have easily slipped poison into the speaker’s wine, which he poured often, because no one checked it.

After his initial run-in with police, Hoyt was voluntarily committed to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center in October for a psychological evaluation. Several weapons were removed from his home along with ammunition.

USCP and the FBI say Hoyt was ultimately indicted because he represents a “current and ongoing credible threat” to the speaker. Hoyt was taken into custody, where he remains for the time being.
