Larkin would not discuss details of the threat and said he did not know if Jackson had read the message. Twenty-six-year-old Adrian Poffley, 26, has been charged with uttering a death threat. He will appear in court next month. :nav Source: http://www.canada.com/ottawa/ottawacitizen/news/story.html?id=49161b6f-a6b4-451a-b2ff-619013ae385a
