More than 150 police officers are searching for a Wisconsin man who allegedly stole 16 high-caliber rifles and handguns from a store in Janesville and mailed an anti-government manifesto to President Trump.
Police say Joseph Jakubowski, 32, should be considered "armed and dangerous" and has a bullet-proof vest and helmet in his possession. Churches throughout Wisconsin were on high alert over the weekend, as his alleged manifesto expressed "anti-religion sentiment," authorities said. "Basically, he's angry at all government officials," Rock County Sheriff Robert Spoden said during a press conference on Friday. "Whether it's the president or whether it's local officers or whether it's law enforcement, he has a dislike for anyone that has authority or governmental power."
