“Whether it’s the president or local officials or whether it’s law enforcement. He basically has a dislike for anyone that has authority or governmental power.
“We consider him to be armed and highly dangerous,” Spoden added.

The burglary suspect was identified by Spoden as Joseph Jakubowski, 32, of the Janesville area of Wisconsin.

Spoden said more than 150 law enforcement officers were now engaged in an urgent nationwide manhunt for Jakubowski.

Authorities said they did not know whether he was still in Rock County or even in Wisconsin.
