The manhunt for a suspect accused of stealing firearms from a gun store and writing a 161-page manifesto to President Trump put many Wisconsin schools on alert Monday amid the frantic search.

In the manifesto from Joseph Jakubowski, 32, he threatened to unleash his stolen weapons on schools and public officials, as well as expressing anti-religious views, according to the Rock County Sheriff’s Office.

The robbery unfolded last Tuesday at the Armageddon Gun Shop in Janesville, about 70 miles southwest of Milwaukee. About 30 minutes later, police found Jakubowski's car on fire nearby -- showing evidence of arson, Cmdr. Troy Knudson told Fox 6.

Police increased patrols near Janesville churches on Sunday, although investigators said there was no specific threat.

Many Rock County schools are on spring break in the upcoming week and authorities emphasized there was no known threat to schools.

Over 150 police officers, sheriff’s deputies, and federal agents are on Jakubowski’s trail. Police said he is considered “armed and highly dangerous.”

Among the weapons he is accused of stealing were several high caliber handguns and at least two semi-automatic assault rifles. Police also believe he may possess a bulletproof vest and military-style helmet.

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. The video showed him saying, “There it is you see it’s getting shipped. Revolution! It’s time for change.”

As investigators continue to follow leads, the FBI has offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to his arrest.

DEVELOPING – Joseph Jakubowski, the Wisconsin man accused of stealing more than a dozen guns and sending a threatening 161-page manifesto to President Trump, has been arrested after a manhunt that stretched on for more than a week, investigators confirmed on Friday.

Officers caught him near Readstown in southwestern Wisconsin, Rock County Sheriff Robert Spoden said in a news release.

Jakubowski, 32, stole 18 guns from a store near Janesville on April 4 before he apparently torched his car and vanished, Fox 6 reported. The anti-government manifesto bearing his name showed his hatred for religion and a desire to carry out unspecified attacks.

Days after the manhunt began, a separate letter mailed by someone claiming to be Jakubowski threatened unspecified violence on Sunday at churches in the Sussex area, about 25 miles northwest of Milwaukee. Rock County sheriff's officials said they were trying to determine whether the letter was authentic.

The manhunt led Gov. Scott Walker to cancel his annual Easter egg hunt scheduled for Saturday.
