TAMPA — Jeremy Michael Brown is a former U.S. Army special forces soldier and one-time congressional candidate in Tampa. He’s also a self-identified member of the far-right Oath Keepers extremist group.
Prosecutors say he was among the rioting crowd Jan. 6 at the U.S. Capitol, where he was photographed in military garb, a tactical vest and carrying surgical shears and zip ties. When federal agents searched his Palm River area home last week, they said they found a short-barrel rifle, a sawed-off shotgun, more than 8,000 rounds of ammunition and two hand grenades.
“You made a specific threat to law enforcement,” the judge told Brown. “And that’s something I can’t ignore.”
All those weapons are useable by a militia.
He's probably going to prison for the hand grenades unless they are dummies used for training.
You think he should go to prison?
