President Obama was drawn into a New York love triangle after a jealous Yonkers man made a bogus 911 call to report that his romantic rival planned to assassinate the Commander in Chief, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.

Juan Medina, 30, was charged in a White Plains federal complaint with making false statements related to an anonymous Aug. 29 phone call accusing his former roommate of planning to travel with AR-14 and AK-47 firearms to Westchester County later that day to kill the visiting president. Medina, who identified himself only as “Hassan,” gave law enforcement the roommate’s New Haven, Conn., address.

Secret Service agents interviewed that man and found no evidence of any plot, but the man pointed blame at Medina.

Medina at first denied making the call, but after failing a lie detector test admitted he wasn’t happy about a relationship his “girlfriend” was having with his ex-roommate. The woman later told authorities she was not Medina’s girlfriend and believed he could have made the call.

Medina faces up to five years in jail.
