Man released to parents’ custody

FARGO (AP) — A man who was convicted for telling a fellow inmate he wanted to kill President Bush has been released to the custody of his parents.

Daniel Cvijanovich served 19 months in prison and was transferred to a halfway house in October, where he was originally ordered to stay for one year. Cvijanovich asked to be released early, saying he had followed all court orders.

After officials at Centre Inc. testified that Cvijanovich had been a “model resident,” U.S. District Judge Ralph Erickson ordered Cvijanovich to be released to home monitoring.

Authorities said Cvijanovich made threats against the president while he was serving time for damaging government property and threatening a federal officer. Cvijanovich has maintained his innocence on the threats charge.
