Man Convicted On State Charges Of Stealing Firearms From Janesville Gun Store

The man already found guilty on federal charges for stealing firearms from a Janesville gun store has now been found guilty of state charges. A Rock County jury today (Tuesday) convicted 33-year-old Joseph Jakubowski of burglary, theft and possession of burglary tools. Jakubowski has already been convicted in federal court on similar charges. He was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison in December. Jakubowski said he took 18 firearms from Armageddon Supplies in Janesville last April. He mailed a rambling anti-government manifesto to the White House and went on the run. He was captured 10 days later 130 miles away in western Wisconsin. His sentencing hearing is set for February 28th.
