A former inmate at the Shawnee County Jail has pleaded guilty to mailing threatening letters from the jail to Gov. Kathleen Sebelius and President Bush.

Terry L. Johnson, 42, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to two counts of mailing threatening letters. He admitted that in December 2004 he sent a letter to Bush saying he had ordered the death of the president’s family and was going to mail Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s head to the White House.

He also admitted sending a letter in February 2005 to Sebelius threatening to kill her husband, U.S. District Magistrate Judge K. Gary Sebelius.

As part of a plea agreement, U.S. Atty. Eric Melgren’s office recommended that Johnson be sentenced to a year in prison, but with credit for the time he’s already served in jail since December 2004.
