In Pennsylvania, two correction officers have been charged in connection with stolen weapons intended to be used to overthrow the government.

Raymond Franklin Peake III told investigators that “he would kill to defend his country and he was stealing weapons to defend his country,” court documents read.

The Hampden Township man is in Cumberland County Prison without bail after being charged with homicide Saturday. Police said one of the weapons Peake, 64, stole resulted in the July 21 shooting death of lawyer Todd Getgen, 42, of Enola. Thomas Franklin Tuso, 34, of Duncannon, was charged with receiving stolen property, theft and other charges in connection with the incident. …

Both Peake and Tuso are correction officers at State Correctional Institution at Camp Hill, a spokesperson confirmed Saturday. …

Peake told police he had been stealing guns for an organization that is collecting firearms to overthrow the federal government, court documents say. Peake also told police that he and Tuso are members of the organization, but refused to give its name.
