Joseph Jakubowski, a Wisconsin man who sent an anti-government manifesto to President Donald Trump and was the subject of a nationwide manhunt last April, was convicted Tuesday of stealing and illegally possessing firearms.
A federal jury found Jakubowski, 32, guilty of stealing 18 firearms and two silencers from a federally-licensed dealer and of being a felon in possession of those guns and silencers, according to a Justice Department news release. The jury returned the guilty verdict after less than two hours of deliberating.
Evidence presented during the two-day trial showed Jakubowski broke into Armageddon supplies in Janesville, Wisconsin, on April 4 and proceeded to steal the guns and silencers. As a convicted felon, Jakubowski was prohibited from possessing firearms.
Jakubowski’s DNA was found to match the DNA of the blood found at the scene, and Jakubowski had six of the firearms at the time of his arrest, according to witnesses. He also admitted to law enforcement officials after he was arrested and during his testimony at trial that he had broken into the gun shop and stolen the firearms.
