A St. Cloud man who pledged loyalty to the anti-government group Boogaloo Bois pleaded guilty in federal court Wednesday to illegally possessing two devices that turn semi-automatic rifles into automatic weapons.
Federal agents started investigating Michael Paul Dahlager, 27, in November after a confidential informant reported that Dahlager had discussed his willingness to kill law enforcement, according to an FBI affidavit in a criminal complaint filed in Minnesota U.S. District Court in April.
In December, after Donald Trump lost the presidential election, Dahlager attended a Stop the Steal rally at the State Capitol in St. Paul to record the scene and scout tactical locations and security presence. He told the informant he was planning to attack the State Capitol on Jan. 17, the day a nonviolent group of Trump supporters planned to protest the results of the election, according to the documents.
