Michigan man linked to extremist group pleads guilty

KIFI

DETROIT (AP) — A Detroit-area man linked to an anti-government group and arrested just before the fall election has pleaded guilty to gun-related charges. Timothy Teagan had attended various rallies with an AR-style rifle while dressed in a Hawaiian shirt, clothing favored by the Boogaloo Boys, a group bracing for a U.S. civil war. Teagan did not face terrorism charges. Rather, he pleaded guilty to concealing his chronic use of marijuana when applying for a gun purchase and possessing a firearm and ammunition while being a drug user. Both are federal crimes. Prosecutors will recommend a 13-month prison term when Teagan returns to court in August. He will get credit for time in custody since his arrest.
