A Detroit area man, arrested shortly before the 2022 elections and linked to an antigovernment group, was sentenced Monday to one year in prison for gun-related offenses.
Timothy Teagan attended several rallies while wearing a Hawaiian shirt. This clothing was worn by the Boogaloo Boys who were preparing for a U.S. Civil War.
Teagan, 23 years old, was not charged with terrorism. He pleaded guilty for concealing his chronic marijuana use when applying to buy a gun and for possessing a weapon and ammunition as a drug addict. Both crimes are federal.

Shanker said that Teagan had participated in substance abuse education while in prison.
Teagan was arrested in Plymouth by the local police for allegedly assaulting his father. FBI agents searched the house and found body armor, gas masks, and boogaloo-flags.
They asked me if I was aware of any violent plans, or violent tendencies which could arise in relation to the elections. After the search, Ford Fischer asked Teagan if she had any plans of going to the polls armed.
