We're hearing of these things more and more now.

And this one is too close to home for me.

BOARDMAN, Ohio (WKBN) – Investigators said they found more than 10,000 rounds of ammunition and over two dozen guns inside the home where a Boardman 18-year-old was arrested last week.

Justin Olsen is now facing a federal charge of threatening to assault a federal law enforcement officer.

He was arrested August 7 at his father’s home on Oakridge Drive in Boardman, where agents said they found a large gun vault. Inside were 25 guns, including AR-15 style rifles and shotguns, according to court documents.

Agents said they also found a large machete in the trunk of Olsen’s car, over 10,000 rounds of ammunition and camouflage clothing and backpacks.

The investigation started in February of this year when FBI agents in Alaska noticed certain posts on the social networking site iFunny.

They said the user “ArmyOfChrist” posted threats, discussed supporting mass shootings and talked about targeting Planned Parenthood.

One of the posts said, “go out of your way to break [gun] laws” and “stock up on stuff they could ban,” the FBI said.
