4-14-17 fugitive arrested

A Wisconsin man accused of stealing more than a dozen guns and sending a threatening manifesto to the White House has been arrested.  Police caught Joseph Jacubowski in the southwestern Wisconsin village of Viola,  Police say the 32 year old Jakubowski stole 18 guns from a store near Janesville on April 4.  The anti-government manifesto bearing his name showed his hatred for religion and a desire to carry out unspecified attacks.  Days after the manhunt began, a separate letter mailed by someone claiming to be Jakubowski threatened unspecified violence on Sunday at churches in the Sussex area, about 25 miles northwest of Milwaukee. Rock County sheriff’s officials said they were trying to determine whether the letter was authentic.  The manhunt led Gov. Scott Walker to cancel his annual Easter egg hunt scheduled for Saturday.
