preview

Louisville Courier JournalView CommentsA Kevil&nbsp;man was federally charged with having an unregistered firearm after investigators say he threatened Gov. Andy Beshear and&nbsp; Kentucky state troopers&nbsp;on social media under a false name,&nbsp;United States Attorney Russell Coleman announced Tuesday.&nbsp;KSP charged Jeremiah Wooley, 25, on April 29, alleging he used a pseudonym on social media to threaten Beshear and troopers. Police, in a search warrant execution, found 12 guns in his home, according to the statement.&nbsp;Investigators also found&nbsp;50 MKII pineapple-style hand grenades in a bucket in Wooley's bedroom, Coleman's office said, and all but one of them had holes drilled in them. One of them had the hole welded shut.&nbsp;Background:Attorney:Investigators found the following items in the same room, which, according to Coleman's office, could be used to "complete and assemble the grenade:"&nbsp;black powder, time fuses, electric matches, ammunition primers, grenade spoons, safety pins&nbsp;and spring cock strikers."Albeit unusual times and despite elevated risk to their own safety, Kentucky law enforcement continues to show up to protect our Commonwealth,” Coleman said in a statement. “I could not be prouder of the mission-driven collaboration between the FBI, ATF, KSP and United States Attorney’s Office in the Purchase Region and across Kentucky.”“During the COVID-19 pandemic, the FBI in Kentucky is especially grateful for the strong law enforcement partnerships throughout the Commonwealth,”&nbsp;Special Agent In-Charge Robert Brown Jr. said in a statement. “This investigation is a great example of law enforcement working side by side to keep Americans safe.”“ATF will continue to work with our local, state, and federal partners to investigate anyone who poses a threat against the citizens and communities of the Commonwealth,” ATF acting special agent in charge Lissa G. Jordan said in a statement.&nbsp;“This is another great example of law enforcement agencies working together for the same goal, which is to keep Kentuckians safe.”If convicted, Wooley could face up to 10 years in prison, a $10,000 fine or both and no more than three years of supervised release, according to Coleman's office.&nbsp;Reach breaking news reporter Sarah Ladd at .
