Authorities responded to Hines Market on U.S. 20 late Monday morning on a report of an armed man who was saying he wanted to join the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge occupiers and "help with killing federal agents," according to a post on the Harney County Sheriff's Office's Facebook page.
The man, Joseph A. Stetson, appeared to be intoxicated and had a pellet gun in his belt holster, the Facebook post said. He resisted arrest and directed repeated, profanity-laced death threats toward the authorities who were arresting him.
