Federal authorities doubled the reward amount for information that leads to the arrest of a Wisconsin man suspected of stealing guns and threatening attacks in an anti-government manifest he mailed to President Trump.
(FOX)- The FBI increased the reward Tuesday to $20,000 to help authorities capture Joseph Jakubowski, 32. Authorities have been searching for Jakubowski since April 4, when authorities believe he stole 18 firearms from a gun store in Janesville.
Authorities also released a modified mug shot of Jakubowski with his head and facial hair shaved off because the FBI believes he may have altered his appearance. The FBI and Rock County Officials said in a statement that there are more than 150 law enforcement officials working the case.
Meanwhile, Don McLean, Jakubowski’s stepfather, said his stepson never had a good relationship with police and that he and his wife ware concerned for his safety.
“We just want him to give up. There’s no good ending to this except him giving up,” McLean said.
Frank Taorimo, a former neighbor of Jakubowski’s, told Fox 6 Milwaukee the man was “quite the troublemaker” and nearly got into a fight with him over the way he would drive.
