Joshua J. Bagemehl, 21, is charged with one count of making terrorist threats.
According to a criminal complaint, Sheboygan Police received an anonymous tip that Bagemehl was planning a school shooting.
Investigators say Bagemehl posted several threatening posts on his Facebook page, including:
“So, I might be buying a AR15 with a laser red dot on it and (expletive) semi-auto too 22 caliber just waiting on the background check.” -- 12/10/16
“Someone needs to do a school shooting around here, it would be funny as (expletive).” -- 12/11/16
A photo of two rifles with the following caption: "my AR15 style rifle, my 715T Mossberg semi-auto rifle with 300 rounds with red dot laser sight." -- 12/12/16
Police executed a search warrant on Bagemehl's home and arrested him without incident.
According to the criminal complaint, they seized a metallic rear sight aperture for an assault-style rifle; 299 rounds of .22 tactical ammunition; and a Mossberg International .22 caliber assault-style rifle as well as various electronic devices.
Police say they also confiscated "handwritten notes concerning homemade weapons; a plan for a “hostile takeover”; and various notes about committing non-specific crimes and not getting caught."
Authorities say Bagemehl told officers he didn’t care what “other” people thought and that it would
be “funny” if someone did a school shooting in Sheboygan.
Police say Bagemehl's told authorities earlier this year that he was schizophrenic and bipolar.
