The Rock County Sheriff’s office said in a news release that the suspect is considered armed and risky.
“We ask that people remain vigilant and report anything suspicious”, Oleson said.
Police believe Jakubowski stole a large quantity of handguns and rifles form the store in Janesville, 70 miles southwest of Milwaukee Tuesday night.
About 30 minutes after the burglary, police found Jakubowski’s auto ablaze on a nearby street along with evidence of arson, according to Cmdr.
The FBI also believes he may try to alter his appearance. “As a reminder, the Federal Bureau of Investigation continues to offer a $10,000 reward for any information leading to the apprehension of this unsafe individual”, the Sheriff’s office added.
Concerns ramped up late last week when a friend of Jakubowski gave a copy of the 161-page manifesto to police and said the suspect had also sent it to the White House. In a cell phone video released by the sheriff’s office, the suspect apparently showed off the manifesto before he dropped it in the mail.
“Revolution”, Mr. Jakubowski says in the video.
McLean said his stepson has a history of clashing with police and he’s anxious about what will happen if there’s a confrontation. “He’s always been anti-police”, McLean said.

Rock County Sheriff’s Office in Wisconsin released still photos of Joseph Jakubowski during the alleged gun store burglary from a security camera. On his right hand one says “True”. Federal agents were pursuing leads in other parts of the country. Many Rock County schools are on spring break this week. “There’s so many officers and cars”, said Joni Bozart, who has an antiques shop on Main Street. Jakubowski may have stolen silencers as well, the source said.
Joseph Jakubowski is a 32-year-old individual who has previous felonies in the past. Then as he grew up, adolescence took over. “There it is. You see it’s good sh**. Just that, standard stuff”, he said.
