Man who hoped to kill Obama back in SD prison

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — A man accused of killing a Sioux Falls hospice nurse in her home and stealing her car is back behind bars in South Dakota.
Forty-one-year-old James McVay waived his right to an extradition hearing in Wisconsin’s Dane County on Tuesday and was transported to the South Dakota State Penitentiary on Wednesday. Also on Wednesday, a grand jury indicted him on murder and burglary charges. He is expected to appear in court next week.
Police allege that McVay stabbed to death 75-year-old Maybelle Schein on July 2 and then stole her car as part of a scheme to drive to the nation’s capital and kill the president. He was arrested later the same day in Wisconsin.
