Cedar Lake police were called to the home of 60-year-old Von I. Meyer early Friday after he allegedly threatened to set his wife on fire. A police statement says Meyer also said he would enter Jane Ball Elementary School and "kill as many people as he could."

Authorities found 47 guns and ammunition worth over $100,000.

Prosecutors filed felony intimidation charges against Meyer on Saturday, one day after the massacre at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. He is being held without bond.

Cedar Lake is about 45 miles southeast of Chicago.

Good. Get this crazy before he actually goes crazy. Probably just looking for attention but at least he's now removed.

Who made the accusation?

All it takes is one of my neighbors to say something like that about me and a SWAT team comes in and confiscates my gun and brick of 22 ammo that they will call a cache.

Because the report states that Meyer told police he was going to kill kids?

So you read "allegedly said" as he told that to the police?

I'm going by what the article says is the police statement. It only says that he allegedly tried to set his wife on fire.

But then goes back to saying in the beginning alleging to kill people. So poor reporting.

Well, yes I would say you are reading a lot into the story, as the writer intended I am sure. Also, I fail to see how the amount (quantity or value) of ammo has any bearing on this story.
