A Washington man allegedly threatened to kill a nurse who laughed at his plan to name his newborn after John Gotti. John Keinath, a 39-year-old ex-con with felony convictions for a drive-by shooting and beating someone with a pipe, allegedly warned the nurse, “I’m going to put a cord around your neck, strangle you until you die, throw you in a ditch, and no one will ever know who did it.” Prosecutors obtained an arrest warrant last month after an informant tipped them off that Keinath had learned the nurse’s name and was allegedly threatening to harm her. Police and U.S. marshals arrested him at gunpoint last week. Keinath has been free since the March incident but on Monday he was in court, where a judge ordered him jailed in lieu of $1 million bail. Prosecutors said Keinath is also being investigated for a “softball-sized” amount of methamphetamine.
