A man told authorities he smashed his car into a Ten Commandments monument at the state Capitol, breaking it to pieces, because Satan told him to do it.

Michael Tate Reed Jr., 29, was interviewed Friday by the U.S. Secret Service and taken into custody by the Oklahoma Highway Patrol on Friday after he made threatening statements at the Federal Building in downtown Oklahoma City, Secret Service Special Agent David Allison said.

A patrol spokesman said Reed, of Roland, was taken to a mental health facility Friday. Reed told Secret Service agents he suffers from bipolar disorder, Allison said.

Secret Service agents responded Friday morning to the Oklahoma City Federal Building after reports that a man there was threatening to kill President Barack Obama and had spit on a picture of the president, Allison said.
