A fugitive accused of stealing more than a dozen guns and mailing a manifesto to the US president has been arrested after 10 days on the run.<\/p>\n
Joseph Jakubowski, 32, was found camping on a farm in southern Wisconsin and taken into custody early on Friday, police say.<\/p>\n
Police feared that he was planning an attack after he allegedly broke into a gun store and made off with 18 weapons.<\/p>\n
The governor had cancelled the state’s Easter event, due to safety concerns.<\/p>\n
But after the news of his detention, Governor Scott Walker reinstated the Easter Egg Hunt.<\/p>\n
The manhunt began on 4 April in Janesville, Wisconsin – about 70 miles southwest of Milwaukee – after the suspect allegedly broke into the Armageddon Supplies gun shop and stole the guns and two silencers.<\/p>\n
His burned-out car was found nearby soon after.<\/p>\n
During the search, a mobile phone video was posted online claiming to show Jakubowski mailing a 161-page conspiracy-laced manifesto to the White House.<\/p>\n
The manifesto, which was obtained by WTMJ-TV<\/a>, features lines such as: “Revolution. It’s time for change.”<\/p>\n In the document, he writes that he is not afraid to die and that: “I choose my death to be carried out by the hands of the president! The leader of the people! Not in secret either! On live TV.”<\/p>\n He also made threats against religious institutions, officials say, causing places of worship and schools to increase their security during the search.<\/p>\n He has so far been charged with three serious crimes.<\/p>\n Source: bbc.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
