Hillsdale man arrested weeks after police search his home for alleged threats to President Obama during Kalamazoo visit

GRAND RAPIDS -- In the days leading to President Obama's June visit to Kalamazoo, the FBI investigated a Hillsdale man's alleged threats of violence against him.

The FBI later searched the home of John Maurice Stephenson -- who allegedly has ties to the Hutaree group -- and found hundreds of rounds of ammunition and body armor, investigators said in documents filed in U.S. District Court in Grand Rapids.

Stephenson is in jail after his arrest on allegations of being a felon in possession of ammunition, records say.

A criminal complaint did not say if Stephenson posed a threat when Obama delivered his June 7 commencement address at Kalamazoo Central High School. But investigators, who interviewed Stephenson twice before the president's visit, did not arrest him until this week.

This isn't his first run in with the police:


Eating Their Young
Paul Darland, 29

Late one night in September 1994, police in Fowlerville, Mich., pulled over three combat fatigue-clad militiamen who, it turned out, had been surveiling police and carrying a major arsenal in their car.

Rather than show up at their arraignment, the men — who said they were bodyguards for a hard-line militia propagandist, Mark Koernke — hid out at the farm of a fellow militia sympathizer and waited for promised help from Koernke.

But as they waited, two of the group — farm owner John Maurice Stephenson and Paul David Darland — grew increasingly agitated and angry at Koernke for failing to deliver. As they talked, they decided that 26-year-old comrade William Gleason, who faced weapons charges along with Darland, had been secretly informing on them to Koernke.

Telling Gleason that they needed to dig a grave for Koernke, they got Gleason to help. When Gleason took his turn, Darland stood behind him and murdered him with a single shot to the head.

Stephenson was arrested in 1996 and eventually pleaded guilty to being an accessory. Darland got away to Indiana, where he took a fake name and married a woman who had no idea who he really was.

But police, knowing Darland's taste for topless bars, finally caught up with him in a Fort Wayne club, and in early 2001 he was convicted of murder.

Watch for someone to post something like that again.

Someone did a month ago, when the government released a couple of those fruitcakes that were rounded up earlier.

and liberals, gays, minority groups were targeted as threats.

These groups were ignored because they are considered the religious right and now they present an even larger threat to the security of the country.

They are going to kill innocent people and it's just a matter of time. They are scoping out police officers to kill, if they are not afraid of the fall out in that area....do you think they scared to kill innocent folks.?
