A Parkville man charged with threatening in an e-mail to "choke the life out of" Gov. Martin O'Malley has been freed from house detention.
A Baltimore County judge ordered Tuesday that Walter Abbott cannot possess a gun or be within 500 feet of the governor.
Abbott was arrested in March, hours after state police say he sent an e-mail to the governor's official Web site threatening him with strangulation. He is charged with threatening a public official and conveying a threat.
Police say Abbott disagreed with the governor's position on immigration. Abbott's wife, Linda, has said her husband, a construction worker, believes he is losing work to illegal immigrants.
A trial date has not been set.
