Mike Wooten, the Alaska State Trooper who sparked two separate abuses of power investigations into Gov. Sarah Palin and several top officials in her administration, has been reassigned after law enforcement officials received numerous threatening phone calls targeting the trooper from individuals in Alaska and out of state, Wooten's union representative said Saturday.
Wooten has been on desk duty for several weeks, said John Cyr, the executive director of the Public Safety Employees Association, the union that represents Alaska State Troopers.
Cyr said the threatening calls were made during the height of the presidential election.
Cyr did not say if death threats were made against Wooten. Rather, he told the Associated Press that callers from the state of Alaska said things like “If I ever see Trooper Wooten on the road, I'm not going to let him stop me."
"It was clear there was a lot of feeling and misdirected feeling among the public," Cyr told the AP. "The department came to us. There were worries about Mike's safety. We agreed -- and Mike agreed -- to do paperwork until after the election."

Thanks to Sarah's US tour and spreading hate all over it's come home now. Don't think First Dude isn't behind some of the attacks. This will get much bigger as Sarah loses everything and even the Oil Company wont want her back. Sarah has seen her world crumble and is now paying the price for her deal with the Devil. She made a deal with the Devil and he gave her a chance for the Top job, as she fell she looked at replacing Uncle Ted the convicted felon. That to fell and now it looks like she's out of everything. Just think the First Dude will have to work and he doesn't want to do that.
