Posted: 05:56 PM ET

(CNN) - A man accused of making threatening statements about killing President Barack Obama has been arrested in Nevada, the Secret Service said Saturday.

Daniel James Murray was arrested Friday night in the parking lot of the Riverside Hotel and Casino in Laughlin, Nevada, said Secret Service spokesman Malcolm Wiley.

Murray recently withdrew $85,000 from a bank in St. George, Utah, in two separate visits and told a teller: "We are on a mission to kill the president of the United States," according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court in Utah.
