Wisconsin gun thief who sent manifesto sentenced to 14 years
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin man who stole a cache of firearms from a gun shop and sent a rambling anti-government manifesto to President Donald Trump before going on the run was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison on Wednesday, after a profanity-laced back and forth with the judge where he asked to either be set free or killed.
Joseph Jakubowski, who was convicted in September on two weapons-related charges, told the judge he didn't follow any rules or laws and had no intention of letting authorities know where to find 14 weapons, including a machine gun, that are still missing.
"Let me out, I'd do it again because I don't respect lies," Jakubowski told the judge as he sat next to his attorney at the sentencing hearing.
