DETROIT (AP) — The FBI has arrested two alleged members of the far-right anti-government group the Boogaloo Boys, with authorities increasingly concerned about the potential for violence in the leadup to next week’s midterm elections.

Timothy Teagan appeared Wednesday in federal court in Detroit on charges of being a drug user in possession of firearms and ammunition, and giving a false statement in connection with the acquisition of a firearm, according to an unsealed federal complaint.

Meanwhile, the FBI said in a criminal complaint filed Monday that there was enough evidence to charge Aron McKillips, of Sandusky, Ohio, with illegal possession of a machine gun and the interstate communication of threats.

‘Well-known’ Boogaloo Boys member spoke about his desire to ‘blow up’ the IRS and Facebook, documents say

...

"The investigation into McKillips began on New Year’s Eve of 2020 – when he was stopped by police for a traffic violation.

 

“In the rear of the vehicle officers located several hundred rounds of 5.56mm and 9mm ammunition, body armor, (an) AR-15 rifle (component), parachute flares, medical kits … and military-style equipment,” the affidavit states.

...

In recordings posted in a Signal chat room, and obtained by authorities in July 2021, McKillips spoke to other Boogaloo movement members about plans to “blow up the IRS,” and talked about “burning down federal buildings and shooting federal agents,” according to the affidavit.
