Akron, OH (WJW) — A convicted sex offender was arrested and charged with making death threats against President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney.

Brandon Britton, 51, of Akron, was in federal custody after an arrest warrant was issued by a federal judge in Akron on Monday.

…According to the nine-page federal complaint, Britton joined the online dating service Mega Mates earlier this year, but wanted to cancel his membership.
