A Charlotte man is behind bars after investigators say he threatened to kill President Obama during the Democratic National Convention.
Investigators told WBTV that Donte Jarmar Sims, 21, was arrested on Wednesday, charged in a felony criminal complaint accusing him of threatening the president's life.
Friday, WBTV learned Sims is scheduled to be in federal magistrate's court in Charlotte Tuesday morning.
The threats were done via Sims' Twitter account on Monday morning.
The first tweet was sent out at 10:06 a.m. on Monday when Sims tweeted, "Well Ima Assassinate president Obama this evening !... Gotta get this monkey off my chest while he's in town."
"Ima hit president Obama with that Lee Harvey Oswald swagg," he tweeted just two minutes later.
WBTV took at look at Sims' Twitter account, which is still active, and saw that he sent out five threatening messages within a 14-minute span.
"The Secret Service is gonna be defenseless once I aim the Assault Rifle at Barack's Forehead ... F* the #DNC," he continued.
Sims is being held at a federal detention center and has a hearing scheduled for next Tuesday.
Investigators say that Sims was interviewed by Secret Service agents at his home where he admitted that he hated the President.
WBTV has learned that Sims' tweets were discovered by a Secret Service intelligence specialist.
In the last of Sims' tweets about the president, he said that he was "plotting president Obama's murder" and that Obama "wont even make it to the coliseum."
Sims has been arrested in Mecklenburg County at least four different times on charges related to drugs, window tinting violation and other vehicle violations.
Sims is scheduled to appear in federal court on Tuesday morning.

If Obama doesn't want to be a target, he shouldn't run for reelection. He volunteered for the job. The brother has a constitutional right to hate him.
No one even bothers to threaten Mittens, since he's going to lose anyway. (4 images)

He's obviously a Neo-Nazi or a Kluxxer that may have spent too much time in a tanning bed.

Yeah,he does. So does anyone or everyone else.
What they DON'T have is a Constitutional Right to assassinate him.
Not that I really think this guy was a serious threat. People capable of doing that sort of thing who are serious about it don't advertise in advance.
I think he's mostly a attention whore,and now he's going to get the mental help that he needs.

Choosing and voting for a presidential candidate is like picking which STD you want to suffer from….

The guy references Lee Harvey Oswald. A "bro" with a sense of historical reference. And to a white guy no less. Just too funny
Almost every country in the Middle East is awash in oil, and we have to side with the one that has nothing but joos. Goddamn, that was good thinkin'. Esso posted on 2012-01-13 7:37:56 ET

No argument from me on that except I think the breeze really started picking up around '86.
