Neighbors lived in ‘constant fear’ of Missouri ‘doomsday prepper’ with gun stockpile: police

Police arrested a Missouri “doomsday prepper” who investigators said had been terrorizing his neighborhood for weeks.

Neighbors began complaining in May about 36-year-old Roy McCool after he allegedly assaulted a woman in Springfield home, reported the Springfield News-Leader.

Investigators said McCool forced his way into the woman’s home and punched, slapped, and choked her before firing three rounds from a handgun into her living room wall.

McCool broke into the woman’s home two days later and stole a bank card and $35 in cash from her children’s piggy banks, police said.

Neighbors said McCool’s behavior grew even more threatening about two weeks later, in late May, when he stood in his front yard with a gun and yelled threats toward other residents.

McCool continued getting into confrontations with neighbors, letting his dogs run loose, and displaying firearms, police said, causing other residents to live “in a constant state of fear.”

He broke laws...and got arrested? Crazy how that is exactly what is supposed to happen.

I did notice a lack of your own opinion on the subject...

that is just being polite and there is already another poster (a host even) that fails to follow the SOP.

from the link....

The witness told police that McCool had “fortified” his home and amassed a cache of weapons, and a judge authorized a warrant to search his home.

Officers said they found 10 guns – including an AR-15 rifle, at least three other rifles, four handguns, and a shotgun – and thousands of rounds of ammunition.


I guess I am in trouble as I have 10 guns also including two AR-15 rifles.


I think it is good he was arrested for committing a crime.

I feel so... so like tens of millions of others! Won't the civility ever stop? The rule-playing? And (god!) the conformity in Hep City? WA-A-AH!

Please don't let this get out.

Was he arrested after the second break in?

Was he arrested after the assault with the stake?

Where were the LEO's??? This is a pretty good example of why keeping a personal safety device is important, don't go around being a victim.

Only 75k bond??? WTF?




Thousands of coins only worth 1300? Hell I have single coins worth over 500.... Sounds like they meant to say he had 1300 bucks in change. Hell I bet I have 600 bucks in change at work alone in my desk.

What point was trying to be made about him having bags of change? Was it stolen? Maybe that's what the point was, because 1300 bucks doesn't a coin cache make.
