4-17-17 gun theft suspect appears in federal court

MILWAUKEE (AP) — A Wisconsin man suspected of stealing numerous weapons and sending an anti-government manifesto to the White House made his first federal court appearance following a nine-day manhunt.  Joseph Jakubowski was wearing a dirty white T-shirt over a long-sleeve shirt and blue jeans during his court appearance Friday afternoon in Madison. He spoke quietly with his lawyer before the proceedings began.  Jakubowski was arrested early Friday after a retired school counselor found him camping on his property.  Acting U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Anderson says Jakubowski could be indicted on federal charges beyond a gun theft charge. He’s also facing state charges in Rock County, including burglary with a dangerous weapon.
