Joseph Jakubowski sentenced to 5 years in state prison on top of federal sentence on gun theft charges

Jakubowski sentencing

JANESVILLE -- Joseph Jakubowski, the man who sparked a statewide manhunt last spring, was sentenced on Wednesday, Feb. 28 to five years in state prison and another five years of extended supervision (on the burglary-arm self with dangerous weapon charge) only after he serves his 14-year federal sentence. This comes in the wake of his January conviction on three charges associated with the theft of guns from Armageddon Supplies in Janesville.

On the two other charges, Jakubowski was sentenced to three years in state prison on the theft charge -- and another three years of extended supervision. Lastly, the judge sentenced Jakbowski to one-and-a-half years in state prison on the possession of burglarious tools charge -- with two years of extended supervision.

Jakubowski was previously sentenced to serve 14 years in prison on federal charges. The question now is whether Jakubowski will serve his state and federal sentences concurrently (at the same time) or consecutively (one after the other). Jakubowski's lawyer, Michael Murphy has indicated he'll argue for Jakubowski to serve his sentences concurrently and in state prison as opposed to a federal penitentiary.

The break-in at the Janesville gun shop, along with the rambling manifesto Jakubowski sent to the White House last April, preceded a 10-day, statewide manhunt. It ended when police captured Jakubowski on a farm in Vernon County in the western part of the state.
