Authorities say a woman accused of threatening to kill First Lady Michelle Obama is in federal custody in Honolulu as the Obama family plans to travel to Hawaii.

The Secret Service says Kristy Lee Roshia called its Boston office last month and told a receptionist, “I will kill Michelle Obama” and “I will kill Marines.”

Roshia also is suspected of mailing photographs of herself, poems and love letters to the Secret Service.

Agents arrested Roshia on Saturday after she told them she knew where President Obama and his wife will be staying during a visit to the islands later this week.
