Wow, this is a colorful story. As usual, I am not sure how much of it is true. igor Three Indicted in Alleged Plot to Overthrow U.S. Government AP 13-DEC-97 LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) Three men charged with planning a revolt against the United States government wanted to create a new republic limited to whites while allowing polygamy to build its population, prosecutors say. Chevie Kehoe of Colville, Wash., and Daniel Lewis Lee of Oklahoma City were charged Friday with murder, racketeering and conspiracy in a seven-count federal indictment. Kehoe, 24, directed the group, and Lee, 24, carried out the orders, the indictment said. Faron Lovelace, 40, of Sandpoint, Idaho, was charged with a single count of racketeering for allegedly being Kehoe's assistant. Prosecutors say Kehoe and the others wanted to create the Aryan Peoples Republic through a campaign of murder, robberies and kidnappings. Once the U.S. government was gone, their new country would grow quickly "by recruiting certain white people into the Republic and by engaging in polygamy so that the number of these white persons would greatly increase," the indictment said. The indictment did not detail threats or name targeted officials. Kehoe and Lee were previously charged in state court with the 1996 deaths of William Mueller, 52; his wife, Nancy, 28; and Mrs. Mueller's daughter, Sarah Elizabeth Powell, 8. Kehoe and Lee allegedly robbed Mueller, a gun dealer in Tilly, Ark., to support their cause, and the circumstances surrounding the deaths gave the Arkansas grand jury jurisdiction. Prosecutors said state murder charges would be dropped to allow the federal case to advance. Authorities say the Muellers and Kehoes knew each other and were associated through gun shows and militia group activities. Kehoe is accused of directing crimes that also include theft, interstate transportation of stolen property and money laundering. Part of Lee's job was to carry out four murders, and Lovelace's duties included one murder, according to the indictment. Kehoe and Lovelace are accused of transporting stolen goods from the white separatist community of Elohim City, Okla., to Spokane, Wash., in March 1995 and again from Arkansas to Washington after the Muellers were killed. Lovelace was convicted this year of killing Jeremy Scott, 23, in 1995 out of fear Scott was a government informant. Lovelace also has admitted kidnapping and robbing a Washington state couple in 1995. He held them captive for five hours after stealing their weapons and extorting several thousand dollars from them. Kehoe and his brother, Cheyne Kehoe, 21, made national headlines in February when they were allegedly involved in a shootout with Ohio police. It was caught on videotape by a camera mounted on a police car. No officers were wounded but a passerby was injured by a bullet fragment. Kehoe and his brother were fugitives until June, when Cheyne surrendered and told authorities where to find his brother. Cheyne was not named in Friday's indictment. Kehoe was being held in Ohio awaiting charges stemming from the videotaped shootout. Lee was jailed in Arkansas on capital murder charges, and Lovelace was being held in Idaho.
