DETROIT — Plymouth resident Timothy Teagan, a prominent member of the far-right anti-government Boogaloo movement, is a heavily armed dangerous man with a history of violence who should not be granted bond while awaiting trial on federal gun and drug-related charges, prosecutors argued Tuesday.
Prosecutors labeled Teagan a danger and a flight risk ahead of a hearing during which a federal magistrate judge will consider releasing Teagan, a 24-year-old Domino's Pizza driver, on bond amid an FBI counterterrorism investigation that has raised concerns about attacks on politicians and plans to disrupt the Nov. 8 midterm elections.
"His prolific drug and alcohol abuse, combined with his possession of firearms, and his history of violence, volatility, and aggression, against both his family members and others present a danger to his friends, family, and the community at large," Assistant U.S. Attorney Saima Mohsin said in a court filing. "In addition to his fists, prior complaints include allegations of biting, kicking, attempted eye-gouging, as well as the use of a sword and an airsoft gun to assault his family members and friends. He has also alleged to have threatened the use of force against those who would call the police to report his crimes."
