FBI: Boehner's Country Club Bartender Wanted To Poison Him

I can't imagine this will do much for F&B sales at Wetherington Country Club even though the suspect is headed to the funny farm. Still, having a bartender wanting to poison the Speaker of the House's vino might make some members think twice about ordering that fourth glass of pinot.

WCPO’s Maxim Alter and Jason Law report that Michael Robert Hoyt was charged specifically with the threats on House Speaker John Boehner's wine orders.

Hoyt served drinks to Boehner for more than five years at the Wetherington Country Club in West Chester and was known as “Bartender Mike” to employees there.

Hoyt called police on Oct. 29, a week after being fired from the club, and blamed Boehner for his woes, police said.

When officers visited Hoyt at his home on Matson Avenue in Deer Park, they said the plot thickened.

“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.”

It just goes on and on from there. Loved this club spirit from Hoyt. Hope this helps him in the sentencing...

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.”

Uh, Dwayne, I'm due back on the planet Earth now.
