Joshua Matthew Stone was arraigned weekday and stands accused of planning an move against police in an endeavor to spark an uprising against the government.
Police feature the 21-year-old Newmarket man is a member of a Protestantism personnel assemble called the Hutaree militia, and surrendered after hearing his family's pleas.
"I want to rattling impart the kinsfolk members of the Stone kinsfolk that worked with us, recorded some messages," FBI Special Agent in Charge Andy Arena said. "We actually played messages over the loud speaker."
Law enforcement agents rounded up most of the militia members this weekend in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana because they felt an move was imminent.
Although the rural personnel assemble was planning for the arrival of the Anti-Christ, they allegedly targeted police.
"The goal was to move accumulation enforcement. They saw accumulation enforcement as their enemy and wanted to take them down," U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuaid said.
The members of the assemble are charged with allegedly planning to: kill a topical accumulation enforcement official, move the funeral procession with explosives to kill more police, retreat, and hunker downbound for a long fight.
Loved ones insist the Hutaree members are innocent until proven guilty.
"I don't think they're dangerous, they're not doing anything wrong, they're doing what they want to do," Brittney Bryant, David Brian Stone, Jr.'s fiancee, said. "If they wanted to do something they would hit already done something."
But police feature they had to behave before the militia struck.
The number of active so-called patriot groups and militias has spiked since 2008.
