ROCK COUNTY, WI (WTAQ) – The 32-year-old Janesville man accused of robbing a gun shop and stealing dozens of weapons has been charged in Rock County court.
Joseph Jakubowski wrote a manifesto to President Donald Trump, railing on the government and religious institutions and calling for the oppressed to ‘rise up.’
Jakubowski was apprehended Friday following a ten-day manhunt that involved local, state, and federal authorities.
At his initial appearance Monday, cash bond was set at $30,000 on felony charges of Burglary with a Dangerous Weapon, Theft, and Possession of Burglary Tools.
During the proceedings, Jakubowski asked a question about one of the charges.
Court Commissioner Larry Barton warned Jakubowski not to make any statements, to which he responded “you can’t tell me what to do as a free individual.”
Jakubowski’s preliminary hearing is set for April 25.
He also faces federal charges.
