Authorities: Ala. woman threatened governor

Authorities say an Alabama woman threatened the governor's life over the state's tough law cracking down on illegal immigration.

Authorities say an Alabama woman threatened the governor's life over the state's tough law cracking down on illegal immigration.

The Montgomery Advertiser reports that 38-year-old Tiffany R. Morales is accused of calling Gov. Robert Bentley's office Sept. 29 and saying a member of his staff: "Tell the governor he has a bullet with his name on it."

Morales, who says her fiance is an illegal immigrant, was arrested Oct. 1 and charged with threatening certain state officers, a felony. She could spend up to five years in jail if convicted.

Her lawyer said at a hearing Friday that Morales has medical problems and a nervous condition and shouldn't be considered a threat.

The judge denied Morales' request to reduce her bond and ordered that she undergo a mental evaluation.
