Hutaree Suspect's behavior raised red flags in Ohio town

[RamboLiberal]

Police in tiny Huron, Ohio, said they became alarmed about Jacob Ward last July after his mother, an Ohio corrections officer, confiscated his guns.

The 33-year-old former mall janitor -- who is jailed in Michigan on charges of conspiring with a Lenawee County militia group to declare war on the U.S. -- wanted police to pursue criminal charges because of the confiscated guns and was irate when the cops refused, Huron Police Chief John Majoy said Friday.

"When someone says they need guns, it raises a red flag," said Majoy, whose community -- population 800 -- sits on the southern shore of Lake Erie, just east of Sandusky.

Police reports indicate Ward wanted his AK47 and .45-caliber pistol back because an Ohio crime family was after him for trying to marry a Macedonian woman who had been held captive on an island in Lake Erie by another crime family.

Ward's mother told police she seized the guns because she was worried about her son's mental state, reports said.

4. Did this woman really exist?

Or was her name Helen and he was feverishly building a big hollow horse to hide in and infiltrate the hiding place of the crime family?
