Police have arrested a Wisconsin man who mailed President Donald Trump a 161-page manifesto complaining about government oppression before reportedly robbing a gun store. Joseph Jakubowski surrendered when he was cornered at a campsite.<\/p>\n

\n

Jakubowski, 32, was arrested near the village of Viola in Richland County shortly before 6am on Friday, the Vernon County Sheriff\u2019s Office told local media.<\/p>\n

\u201cLife can get back to normal,\u201d<\/em> said the sheriff\u2019s office, according to WMTV-TV<\/a>. \u201cThis is a \u2018Good Friday\u2019 for more than one reason.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Janesville, Wisconsin resident attracted national attention after the FBI posted a $10,000 reward for information leading to his capture. That reward was raised to $20,000 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Last Tuesday, Jakubowski mailed a manifesto to the president, then allegedly robbed Armageddon Supplies gun store, making off with 18 guns, two silencers, and ammunition.<\/p>\n

\u201cBasically, he\u2019s angry at all government officials, whether it\u2019s the president or local officials or whether it\u2019s law enforcement,\u201d<\/em> Rock County Sheriff Robert D. Spoden told reporters last Friday, adding, \u201che basically has a dislike for anyone that has authority or governmental power. We consider him to be armed and highly dangerous.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Over 150 law enforcement officers conducted a statewide manhunt for Jakubowski, while Governor Scott Walker canceled his annual Easter egg hunt, which had been scheduled for Saturday, out of security concerns.<\/p>\n

Some 35 pages of Jakubowski\u2019s manifesto were posted online by WTMJ-TV<\/a>. Commander Troy Knudson of Rock County Sheriff\u2019s Office said the writings \u201cappeared genuine.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The author claimed the government was trying to brainwash citizens through taxes, religion, and health insurance.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe the people should be out for these sick minded people belonging to the system! We need to spill their blood!\u201d<\/em> said the document, going on to accuse priests and churches of controlling the president and US banks.<\/p>\n

A farmer called the police on Friday to report someone matching Jakubowski\u2019s description refusing to leave a campsite on his property. The police cordoned off a 150-acre area and took Jakubowski into custody without incident, local media reported.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
