A little birdie suggested to me this guy might be or was a INGO member. Anybody know him?

Nutjob for sure.

Police say Byrne originally refused to identify himself, claiming he was a “sovereign national.”

Pfft... shameful... who goes on a terror raid with a .22 LR. What happened to the quality of home grown terrorists.

Screenname?

He appears to be wearing pants in the second photo, so that rules out most of the well known INGO members.

If there's pants involved then count me out...all signs CLEARLY state no shirt no shoes no service...

Terrorism on a budget.

On Aug. 15, a Greenwood police officer pulled over Christopher C. Byrne, 31, after he saw the man “driving suspiciously” through the Greenwood Park Mall parking lot, Suspicious? Doing the speed limit and obeying traffic signs would be suspicious down there.

Police say Byrne originally refused to identify himself, claiming he was a “sovereign national.” He was eventually identified and placed into custody after the officer confirmed he was a habitual traffic violator. There went my speed limit/obeying the signs theory.

When officers searched Byrne’s car, they found a Ruger 10-22 rifle with 100 rounds of ammunition with a scope and homemade suppressor attached. Anybody else want to see the "homemade suppressor"?? My money is on there are beer cans and duct-tape involved.

They also found water bottles filled with bleach and ammonia, which form a toxic gas if mixed together in a sealed container. Ok, that toxic gas is chlorine gas, mixed correctly that is some deadly stuff. Deadly like WWI gas attack deadly.

A 10/22 and 100 rounds is a boring day at the range.

The bleach and ammonia is the bigger issue, but of course, we'll focus on the gun and ammo instead.

Last year he was convicted of stealing police equipment, including an AR 15 rifle, and he's out on the streets!?!!
What did he get; a nasty look from the judge and 35 seconds of probation?

I'm no expert, but my guess is the home made suppressor is the part that will pay off big come time for sentencing. But I don't know the statute on the poison gas. If there is some kind of Patriot Act WMD (depending on the quantity and how it's defined) thing floating out there he'll probably never see daylight again.

Did he have to ID himself? What was he stopped for?

Yeah, I wondered about that too. This is what gun owners and the NRA have been screaming about for years: enforce the laws you've got. We don't want somebody who sets fire to a squad car and steals a patrol rifle roaming our streets anymore than Bloomberg does.

Theft conviction, 730 days of home detention which means 365 actual. Unsurprising in Marion county.

A traffic infraction so yes, the ID statute would apply.

The first story didn't say he was pulled over on 31.
