Complaint: KGB "followers" armed with semi-automatic pistols at Christmas program

BROWN COUNTY, Wis. (WBAY) - Two men described as "followers" of former Green Bay Packer Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila were packing loaded pistols and ammo when they went to a Green Bay church where KGB's children were in a Christmas program.

Jordan T. Salmi, 24, Ryan R. DeSmith, 22, are each charged with counts of Carrying a Concealed Weapon, Obstructing an Officer, and Disorderly Conduct. All three counts are misdemeanors.

(snip)

The director of the school where KGB's children attend talked with officers and said people associated with KGB's religion--the Hebrew Israelites-- make YouTube videos and have sent threatening messages to the school.

They'll use their weapons on people. Do not rest assured.

The lieutenant informed them that the weapons were being held as evidence and could not be released.

KGB argued that it was "the law of the land" that they be able to have the guns. The lieutenant informed him that carrying a concealed weapon without a permit is against the law in Wisconsin.

KGB told Salmi and DeSmith to write the lieutenant a bill for $1,000 every day for "fair and enjoyment use."

The lieutenant said he told them he "was done and not going to play in their pretend world." He told the men to mail him their bill.

The four men remained at the police department for 15-20 minutes, repeatedly knocking and calling dispatch. Dispatchers were told to hang up on them.

The men left behind their bill for the lieutenant, charging him $1,094, but no information on how he was supposed to pay it.
