Sheboygan man accused of making terrorist threat

By ASSOCIATED PRESS Wednesday, October 7, 2009 - 5:18 a.m.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (AP) — A Sheboygan man is accused of stealing a car and later telling police he was a terrorist who planned to blow up the police department and kill his probation officer.

Prosecutors charged 45-year-old Jeffery M. Goelzer with felony counts of burglary and driving a vehicle without the owner's consent. He was also charged Monday with misdemeanor counts of theft and disorderly conduct.

The charges carry a maximum prison sentence of 16 years.

The criminal complaint says police pulled Goelzer over Friday morning on suspicion of driving a stolen vehicle. The complaint says he told officers he hated Americans because he was from Canada, and he should be considered a "terrorist threat."

There was no telephone listing for Goelzer. Online court records didn't list a defense attorney Tuesday.
