Jacob Ward, one of the nine alleged Hutaree militia members charged in an alleged plot to kill police, reportedly became irate at Ohio police last year after they refused to press charges against his mother, who had confiscated Ward's AK-47 and pistol.
The Detroit Free Press reports on the unusual reason Ward, of Huron, Ohio, said he needed the guns:
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.
