Charges were pending Thursday morning against a California man who was arrested Thursday morning after protesters were threatened at “Camp Casey,” the site where anti-war demonstrators have gathered near the President’s Central Texas ranch.

The man told deputies he was a Secret Service agent, officials said, but he wasn’t.

Complaints including making a terroristic threat and impersonating a peace officer are pending.

It was the third incident involving protesters since Sunday, when a nearby landowner fired a shotgun blast that startled demonstrators and Secret Service agents alike.

The man told reporters he was simply preparing for the start of dove hunting season.

On Monday night, a 59-year-old McLennan County man was arrested after a pickup truck tore through a row of crosses erected by the protesters.

The crosses bear the names of U.S. war dead.

Another Crawford-area landowner has invited the protesters to move their makeshift campsite from the roadside to a vacant pasture.

The group plans to move by the end of the week.

The demonstrators have gathered around Cindy Sheehan, the Vacaville, Calif. woman who is demanding a meeting with the vacationing President Bush about the death of her 24-year-old son, Casey, a 1st Cavalry Division soldier who was killed in Iraq in 2004.

She vows to continue her vigil until the President grants her a meeting, which seems unlikely, or until Mr. Bush returns to Washington after Labor Day.

She says she will take her protest to Washington once the President leaves.
